Tail Lights Dont Measure Up

[all_motor_baby]

sup fellaz, just bought some tail lights for my civic 4door from the site and just wonderin why the hell it dosent fit right. could it be because there mass-produced there shape and structure aint always the same as it was the last copy and aint ment to fit eveycar??
1. the tail lights hieght is slightly smaller than the original by say10-12mm.
2. the piece thats connected to the boot "thinks its the reverse lights" the backing on its diffrent to mine so i cant attach any of the light bulbs to it.
just a few reasons for my questions.........shud i just stop crying like a lil biatch and just pay someone to do it for me, koz the only thing stopin me is that it'll still have the same gaps as when i flush fitted it,can anyone bloody help lol :D . I'll post pics up soon so yall know what i mean.

regards,in advance

ment for a hb and not 4 door

[timmya2]

^ ah.. you sure its not the hatchback tailights?

coz h/b tails and sedans ones arent the same.

[all_motor_baby]

HHMM.......well that was my first thought when they didnt fit, the lights being for a hatch back model but from the discription the guy had he said it was for 4door sedan so naturaly i thought yeah he'd know what he was talkin about.
But yeah dont worry i'll post pics up soon so i can show yall what i mean yeah.......

its normal... my tail lights r not a perfect fit.... thats wat we should expext with non oem stuff

[tommi]

Yeah, i bought some head lights a while back and when i put them in there was a gap between the bottom of the light and the front bumper...ah well, s%$t happens with aftermarket stuffs....jus buy some rubber strips from a hardware shop or something and make some seals.

[all_motor_baby]

Lol yeah guess yall right its to be expected with aftermarket products :D .
But still need some help so i'll post pic of what im talking about.
