No sir. Not yet. Still trying to decide if I want to or not.

And one last thing, how do I go about fixing this? Can I use something to seal the rubber thingy that isn't holding against the body of the car completely like the stockers?

It's pushed in as far as I could push it. After I get done at the gym tonight, I'm going to stop over at Walmart and pick up some RTV and make sure I seal them too before I forget. While I'm doing that, I'm also going to try to maybe heat up that part with a blow dryer and see if that makes any difference.

Well, I had to take them off due to some issues. They have already fogged up due to it being cold outside and it being warm inside the lens when I turned on the lights, so I'll have to take the steps on how to fix the condensation from AM's site or something. And I'm going to have to figure out a way to get that rubber piece that goes around the border of the light to fit up snug against the body of the car. And I can't see **** with the stock bulbs (LOL). The passenger side fits fine, but the driver side, not so much. And, the driver side light seems to be aimed to the right a bit and I don't know how to fix that.

So I don't know. Had I known that there were fitment issues with these, I would have reconsidered me getting them. Maybe I just got a bad batch.

Did you get the Ebay specials, or order them from American Muscle?

Got them from a store on ebay, but I have a strong hunch that they are the exact same ones that AM sells. I emailed the seller so we'll see if whoever answers can chime in, otherwise, I plan on returning them.
