Posted new pics of the LED tail lights in my pic poster; the LEDs replaced my Hella tail lights...
All pics that have a "DRVR" are the ones that were installed with the weatherstrip and two ball screws; pics with "PASS" are the ones where I removed the ball screws and used velcro.
Also, I put my smoked side markers and roof spoiler back on and it looks pretty good (IMHO). It didn't look as "busy" compared to my Hella tail lights.
Whatcha all think?
Oh, and the eff-u pic shows that small fissure I mentioned in an earlier post. The pic "top-drvr-warp.jpg" shows the warped chrome part after about an hour or so in direct sunlight in 88F degree weather.

nice.....I hated how mine stuck out near the body in the farthest corner from the rear...
looks like those do the same thing. 
Fitment on all the aftermarket tails I've owned has been below average.
Wanna sell me your Hellas?

Dunno if I want to let them go yet. I dont have my OEM taillights anymore...
so they're my fall-back if these LED taillights cant fit properly after I mess with them a bit more.
Dont get me wrong, they look great but the quality is really disappointing.
I got rid of the weatherstrip and used velcro and it looks a lot better, but the velcro doesnt hold up to the weather.
