Diamond Clear Fitment

Has anybody else had a gap between the 2 pieces after installing the clears? If so is there a fix for this so they will sit flush next to each other. I may just be picky but for what these cost I would expect a perfect fit. I have a 99 SE-L if that makes a difference.

mine has a slight gap too. so did my orange lens prior to removal (and they were never removed or hit). before i installed the lens that pops in with a balljoint and socket, i stuck a piece of foam in the bumper hole so it'll push the lens to the front piece thats screwed in. im referring to the hole on the leftmost side in the pic below:

it helps if youre installing it with the "security" feature described on the above link. when you thread the balljoint stud into the back of the lamp you can shift the lamp around to position it to your desire.

I bought them from procarparts.com off of Ebay. Sorry Greg. I won w/ a bid of $48 shipped. Got them in less than a week. I'm going to look for a stock max tommorow to compare fitment. They do make the car look one hell of alot better. Thanks for the tip on foam. One side does wiggle in that exact place.

Thats weird. So does mine. I have a bigger gap (nothing huge) on my drivers side. The passenger side seems to be more flushed together though. I also got mine off of ebay but for $40.

I think thats everyones lens, the manufacturer according to greg had to redo them, now the leaking and fitment is all perfect(I assume)

I will beleive that when I see them, and I sure hope to see them soon

I know on my last set of regular clears that they didn't fit just right, and one came loose and feel out during a spirited driving session, but I just got a little foam and fixed them right up.
