Did the flush thing when I put the euro's on but did not like the way they looked. At least to my eye they did not look like they were sitting even, relative to each other and seemed kind of flimsy with the extensions holding them out to the so called flush positon. I put them back to thier original spot and they're rock solid now and are even to each other. I also noticed that although they're called flush mounted in reality there is still a space around the lights even when sealed that can collect water and dust. The moral is to each his own..............................

My car will not have flush mounted tail lights. I like the look of the recessed lights more.

Can you still install chrome bezels with a flush kit? Will the chrome screws be long enough?

Mine are currently flush mounted, and they look okay but I may go back to stock when I install my LED taillights. It's cheap and easy enough to do.

The flush look is OK, but I really do prefer the stock recessed taillights.

I liked the flush look until I went to LEDs. Now I think they look better set in...
