I got some clear bumper lights, and the lights fit but they are loose. I realized the factory lights have a thin rubber like strip surrounding the light so that it makes a tight fit. What can I use to make the lights fit ? I dont want to glue the lights, i have tried adding a strip of doublesided tape but that doesnet work......anyone else have this problem ? or how did you correct it ?

Thanks

Got mine off ebay as well and they worked just fine. I got the black ones instead of the clear. Try adjusting the clip on the back with a pair of pliers. With the side marker in position...just bend the clips back (inwards) to help hold it in place. It worked for me.
