The lower trim piece isnt going to fix his 1/2 inch gap at the top of the light though guys...

Yes, it will. The 240sx lower trim piece isn't shaped right to allow his tailights to sit in all the way. When I was using the original lower trim, I had to modify it a bit in order for the lights to sit in closer to the body.

Too much sealant? Thats my only guess.

Be careful on how much you try to tighten the taillights, i tried that with my stock ones and stripped one of the studs

Let me tell you, that was no fun at all to take care of...i ended up pulling the stud out of the taillight and had to glue it back in.

Obtain a rubber mallet.

Remove tail lights.

"Massage" the sheetmetal as your car has probably been hit.

Re-install lights.

Be a man and put a little a** into them.

End.

This isn't Nissan specific stuff, it's general automotive knowledge and problem solving. If something doesn't fit, find the cause and correct it. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed if I posted this.

actually, it is nissan specific.... without the kouki lower trim piece, they won't sit right. And no, my car has not been hit..... i found the cause, the trim piece, and i have plan on fixing it.........

i would be embarrassed if i posted telling someone to beat on their car with a mallet when they could do something alot easier and not look like a dumbass doing it.

My bad, I retract my statement.

from whats been stated and looking at the pics, i def agree with the garnish being the problem. try removing the garnish and see how much room you gain with the taillights now that its not getting caught on the bottom. def should fix the problem. keep us posted.

alright.... sadly, it looks like my hardware has come OUT OF the tail light So does anyone know where i can buy JUST the hardware for the kouki tails?

Why didn't you listen to this guy?

DO NOT continue to tighten them down, the studs are only molded into plastic. Very expensive pieces of plastic, by the way.

im not the one who pulled them out.... i beleive someone tried to steal my lights last night...... buts its all good...under further inspection, the studs are all in tact so they will be getting epoxied back into the lights tonight. (yes i will be careful) lol

[cwilson93]

FIXED!

i epoxied the studs back in... bolted that s*** up, and now there's barely even a gap!

im assuming that the studs had been working their way out for awhile, that's where my original gap came from... It looks clean now!

Pics tomorrow!
