Default Tail Light Flush Kit Questions????

Are any of them worth buying? Sounds like they are just plastic tube spacers and longer screws. I can get that at my local hardware store. Same for the seals that are sold. Or am I wrong???

Nope, not wrong, buy your own parts at Home Depot, or Lowes.

You can buy the kits for $15-$20- you'll spend that much for new seals and getting the right bolts at Depot is not easy- they sell hardware screws/bolts- not automotive- I know, I tried.

You don't really need the seals!! When you have the lights out,, just drill some 1/8th inch holes in the bottom lip,,,the water drains out instead of pooling and then running out when you drive. It's free and it works!! I love the look of my flush lights,,evry one that notices them does too. I think that's the way they should have been in the first place!!
