Many pilots will offset the nosewheel to avoid hitting the lights. Some airports have bumpier lights than others and I guess smaller aircraft are more susceptible as well. When taxying in to the aerobridge though, there is a guidance system that shows the pilot exactly where the centreline and stop line are so they can position correctly for the aerobridge.
