Default LX tail light swap ?

What's up everyone,

I'm obviously new to the forum, which explains why put my full name as the screen name instead of something a little more edgy. Duh!

Anyways, I just put some LX lenses on my GT, and I had a quick question. I used the new hardware provided in the box, but the center of the light bows out approximately 1/8". There is some minor flex when pressure is applied to the center of the light. I just want to know if this is an issue, or a common occurrence. I'm not quite sure if the clips seated properly or not, or if the that weather sealant is holding it in place. I didn't hear any clicking or noises to that affect though. The lens just slid on to the housing with a little bit of pressure. I would hate to see my tail light lens shatter in my rear view mirror.

Thanks in advance for your input.

As long as it is water tight I wouldn't worry about it. My stock 83 lens's have the same bow to them.

Welcome to the forums.
