Just had my car painted, and while they fit evenly, I'm afraid my taillights aren't all the way "in" as you can see a little black on the sides, where the lights wrap around the body.

I've love to see some pictures of taillights on original cars, and especially as seen from the side of the car.

Many thanks!

Pete,

You should see about 1/32" of black all the way around - that is the housing. The lenses seal against the housing pretty tightly (finger tight on the knobs), but a small amount of the housing (black) will be visible.

Got a closeup pic?
