Angry Tail lights

Umm, well, this is the first topic I've done in my life in their forum mojo... So I pretty much don't know if this will work.

Ahem,
to the point, my tails are apparently a bad mold. How do I fix?

mmm if thats a link, click it, and the highlighted green circle is where it extrudes away from my frame. (if that makes sense, help me!)

Should I glue it to my car (what glue, if yes)? or use a heat gun and try it warp it correctly?...or?

Sometimes the tighter you screw on the lights to the fender, the more they tend to flare out.
Make sure that the plastic cover thingy that looks like a miniature condom is on the metal insert and is snug. If it's loose or folding over itself it wont allow you to insert the light into it's place snugly causing it to flare as well.

Don't glue it. Try to get a pic up so we know what your talking about.

Hey man are they TYC tail lights? Because if they are there is a replacement part for them. It replaces the posts that go into the holes of the car. There is a thread about it somewhere in this site.

yes you need to either request a hardware package from tyc or use the one that came with it. it might be in the bottom of the box. it will fix your problem without a doubt.

Thanks *takes a bow*.

I appreciate your help guys (and girls, if there's any)

But they're not TYC headlights (I don't think so atleast). Actually I don't know, someone told me TYC is just a japanese name for Lexus lights. Is that true? If so, I guess mine are TYC

and what do you mean by hardware package / Replacement parts? (I'm pretty sure, the box only came with these lights. No bulbs, no nothing, just plastic)

Some guy made me go out and buy polyurthane too so I can glue that bit onto the bumper... Is that a good idea?
