My led halos fit right in, They are the same size as the stock tails. Where did you get yours from? So other members don't do it also.

Sorry for the late reply guys. Nope Dave still have the stock rear fascia. I bought my set from that auction site. I got the ones with the 6 reflectors and full LED display. I did not want halo's amd did not care for the ones with just LEDS in the center. These worked for me. I indeed had to trim the crap out of my rear and had to even flush the Led's because as I was trimming the very first hole I must of hit the inside wall with the dremal and gouged it bad so now they are flushed. 
It was a 3 hour ordeal to swap lights but once I find the perfect gasket today to sell them up they will look great.

Probably not. Car is in pieces again. HAHA I ordered a new set of CF covered brake ducts not just covers so my stockers are off. Also removed my powersteering and brake reserviors to have them done. See what you started at Glass in the grass last year. I TOLD you I would get this car all CFed out. HAHA

Damn you Bill. 
I saw "Directly bolt-on" and did not need to read any further.
No worries I got it. I dont recommend these because most of you would have passed on taking a dremal to your bumper but hey, I was 7-8 beers deep and didnt care. HAHA Probably explains why I was forced to flush them.
