W111 Coupe running light question...

On my coupe, the orange lights in the front don't line up. Are they supposed to? I've seen lots of coupes on eBay and most don't line up. The driver side always seems lower, is this normal?

I don't believe that's the norm. I have a 2.8 Cabriolet and mine line up. I suspect that over the years some mechanic or PO leaned or stepped on one of them causing it to bend a little. I have not looked at mine but as I recall they are mounted with brackets so it should be relatively easy to even them out.

Can you just bend them? On mine they seem to point down, should they point straight? Thanks. Here is another eBay W111 with the same problem...
