Don't buy the kit, just do it yourself
Flush Mounted Tail Lights
(6) 1" L X 1/2 W X .194" Hole Size Nylon Spacers
(6) 1/4" L X 1/2" W X .194 Hole Size Nylon Spacers
(8) #8 x 2" Zinc Pan Head Screws
(1) Frost King Rubber Foam Weatherseal 3/8" W X 5/16" Thick x 10' Long (Adheasive backed)(I got the black weather stripping)
Simply unscrew tail lights, clean, put weather stripping around the tail light (where the red casing meets the black casing of the light) insert new screws and spacers on back side, screw back into mounting hole.
-The two center lights get one 1" spacer on each screw.
-The outside lights get three 1/4" spacers on each of the outer most
screw
-The inner screw on the outside most lights get one 1" spacer.
-Fit so the weather stripping looks good and screw them back in!
1" spacers $4.77
1/4 Spacers $3.42
Weather stripping $3.98
Pan head screws $.98
Peace

I was lazy too. I bought my kit from West Coast Corvettes. The nice thing about this mod is if you decide later to change it back, you can.

I guess I'm lazy too!! I bought the kit also, but modified it becuase I wanted one side on each light out a little farther. Turned out good. Here's some pics....
Good luck with your install!!'
