New Euros stick out a little

OK I just got the new Elegante euro lights from TYC, they look awesome, but the passenger-side one sticks off the rear end a cm or so, while the driver-side one is flush. Is this OK, or did I do something wrong? Will this affect the water-tight-ness (hehe i made a new word!)? thanks!

Before you get flamed badly for asking this, I will try and help as much as I can. Everyone is going to tell you use the Search feature. There have been many discussions on this issue. Usually, all Euro looking style lights won't fit perfectly. That's just the way it is.

i'll help ya without giving u the "search" speech:

Mine do that on my Matrix tail lights. I was hoping to fix that prob when i got the TYCs. I would have to look at it, but it's either the molding of the lights, or the alignment stem on the tails. If its the stems, u could try bending them CAREFULLY; if its the molding, then you're S.O.L.

I bet u could try something to bend the actual light (with a heatgun or sumthin), but a cm isn't too noticable...
