aftermarket taillights... Nothing will fit like OEM

U can always take black silicone and put it around it? but that may make it uglier.

exactly.



but try to take it out and then reinstall (maybe its not sitting right)
if it still has a gap...then either call TYC about it or live with it

nope...ur not the ONLY 1 at all. i have the "red" altezza non-ricey tails and i have that problem too. i have gaps on all the sides practically. but im getting used to the look. one thing that bothers me tho...the right tail i can see the WHITE trim on the trunk-side from a short distance away and def. on the road...ugh it bugs me but theres really nothing i can do bout it...so jus learn to deal i guess. my old GF also has TYC tails but her fit amazingly well...ugh thats aftermarket for ya...soooo unpredictable. GL tho
