Default Clear Turns (again)

Anyone who has installed clear turns have issues with not getting them to seat on the two pins? I seem to have a gap and they flex away from the fascia a little to easy for my taste.

On the flip side, I do like the look.

PS- these are the more expensive ones so I'm surprised about the issues.

I went with the ones from Stangmods.com, probably the ones you bought because these were very expensive. I have to say, the fit is great, I have a problem the way the smaller 194 bulb sockets fit into them, they are very sloppy and loose, but I used a small rubberband from my daughters braces around the socket as and additional gasket and it fits great, the look is great too.

Those are the ones. Yes, I had an issue with the small bulb as well and had to add an o ring to get it closer. Did you have to flex the fascia or shave any plastic?? Do you have a gap toward the back?

No, I have to say the fit was perfect, but to be honest, I had my bumper off when I did it, I was also installing my 3D Carbon Eleanor grill and they say it's easier to remove the bumper to do it, so I did the whole install while the bumper was on my work bench.

Do those come with a tint as well? I was thinking about these but I would like to have some smoke tint to mine.
