Me too, I tried it twice and before I got the second one done, I went back to stock. It just doesn't look all that good to me.

Default Flush tail lights
I got mime on Ebay.com only $15.95
You get the 8 spacers (including the 2 shorter ones also) and longer screws

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=110085432683

I love the look and you don't get all the dirt gathering in the tail lights anymore either!
