Just fitted my rear lights after taking out my aftermarket one's.

Dont know if its just me but there seems to be a big gap between the lights and the bodywork, Big enough for me to get the tip of my thumb in at least.

The lights all seem to fit ok, only problem was the outer red stick had snapped off, but the centre was fitted in fine.

Just worried now that when it rains i am going to end up with a boot full of water.

What do you guys think

shouldnt leak, the boot closes on rubber seal not the light to make it water tight

cheers for the reply everyone. just that the previous ones fitted quite flush so thought i had done it wrong.

As long as it doesn't let in water its fine.
