Default Headlight issues.

Well, I had ordered some smoked clear corners off of ebay, and I believe they are the exact same ones AM sells because I was watching a video on how to install them and even the box and the package was the same. Any who, I installed them with no problems, but then I came about a couple of issues.

1. The driver side light seems to be aimed to the right a bit, so the light spreads out pretty far to the right, but is very narrow on the left side of the car. Don't know how to fix that, but it may be caused by my next issue.

2. The fitment... it sucks. The passenger side fit pretty well, but the driver side's fitment sucks. I can't get it so the rubbery piece that sort of borders the outside lens to seal up against the body of the car like the stock lights do. I'll provide pictures of it at the bottom. The fact that part of it is sort of bent, or arched, really makes it more difficult to fix too. In fact, a little bit of light seems to seep through it too because I see a little line of light shooting out perpendicularly to my car on the driver side.



Any ideas of what to do? I'm thinking about maybe returning them because of how poorly the driver side headlight fits.

I'd return them and demand they send nudes as compensation for your inconvenience.
