I wanted one piece ones for my hatch but dammed if I’m going to now!!!

the one piece ones are made to fit the hatch. i fitted a set onto a friends last week.
and they will fit the sedan but there will be a gap between the indicator and the fender. BUT you should be supplied with shaped rubber bits to fill this gap. i know the set i fitted came with these.

hatchback headlights are different to sedan headlights.

with the 2 piece ones you can get sedan specific corners to match

Listen to this guy.. i had the same problem till i bought rubbler strips :thumbsup:

where exactly is the gap?

i'm almost positive the one piece ones only come in one size. but if not there is no way you have got sedan ones if you have a gap on a hatch.
there shouldnt be a huge gap though. has your car been in an accident at all in the past? cos that can put the panels and mounting points out a bit to create a gap.
but it looks like you'll just have to use some rubber. also, dont be afraid to use a bit of force to get them in. sometimes they just need to be pushed in a little harder. dont worry, the mounting brackets on the lights are pretty flexible.

pics of my car are in both the cruise to palm beach and in the appearance gallery with the angel eyes fitted

fits like a dream , I've got hatch headlights for my sedan

i can see a bit of a gap above left indicator and above right headlight. this looks pretty normal the gap above your right headlight would lessen if your bonnet was on straighter. its slightly to the left and therefore coming down more on your left headlight. just get some thin rubber to fill the gaps. pretty sure there is meant to be a little gap otherwise you can risk slamming your bonnet straight onto your headlights, then crack
