i cant speak for the kit, but i tried the DIY with lowes parts.
the holes for the lights are recessed and get smaller as they go in, when you bring the light forward to make them flush, it creates a gap around the light. what fills your gap??

i can see what your saying. really depends on what weather stripping you use i guess, the stuff recommended on the DIY site sucks big time. looks real cheap.
i do however really like the look, i probably should have just purchased the kit!
