68-69 Dart Fenders Identical other than marker light?

[rcrcman]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and have an issue on a 69 I recently bought. I can see that the drivers fender is a 68 variety because the marker light hole has been filled. But the thing I'm not sure on is if the headlight bezels fit exactly the same on both fenders. My LH bezel is easily 1" away from fitting on the drivers side. But the pass side is all factory and everything fits perfectly. It looks like to me the fender/headlight mounting bucket is about 2" further out than the other side. Note how much further the headlight site towards the outside of the fender than the other... very strange, nothing looks mangeled on the fender, inner fender of frame to cause that much issues, the bumper goes right on.

Can you guys give me some feedback?

pic attached, I can take better detailed ones tomorrow if needed

Yep. 69 fenders have the headlight bucket moved over.

That's probably a 67 fender. They are identical in fit with no side marker light.

Solution is to get a 69 fender, or have the headlight bucket metal support replaced with the correct for 69 support...
