Hey, I just got my tail lights in today. They are the 3 piece altezza's. I baught them from Ebay, I see alot of 240's with these tails so I thought it would be a safe bet.I went to install them today, and i found that they dont sit flush, as the stock tails do. The bottom of the taillights and center garnish pop out. I cant seem to push it in any farther. I dont know if it's intended to be this way or what the deal is. Just wondering if anyone else has these tails, or knows what im talking about. If so, what did you do? Or what do you think I shuold do?Thanks

bought one and test fitted it on mine. i guess its suppose to be like that. there is about a 1/4 inch gap on the bottom to where you can run the edge of your finger at the bottom of the lights. and they don't go any further. seen some pics and seen people around here and they are all like that.

also when i switch to the real kouki lights, i tried it with the lower panel and it still doesn't quite fit right.

anyways, try puting spacers on the lower panel between the panel and the rear mounting holes so it can stick out alittle

It kinda seems weird that they don't sit flush, but If that;s how it is then I guess thats just how it is. Thanks a bunch
