Well my Mopar Retro 3D's came in today and I just got done installing them. Take a look. I also have a question below the picture.



I finished installing the lights and the left tail light came out great. The right tail light came out good too but I have a tiny problem with it. If I look closely, there is about a 1 or 2 millimeter opening gap between the top of the light and the frame. Not sure what to do about it because everything is screwed in tight just like its supposed to be. I even pushed up on the light while screwed it back in and that didn't help. I took a waterhose and lightly sprayed the gap and some water got in and down into it just a little bit. Is this a big problem? If so, how do i fix this gap? These lights are designed for the 03-05 Neon so this shouldn't have been an issue.

The first pic is the tail light in question. The second one is the left tail light. Try to compare the two.

 

Alright I took off the right tail light to inspect it and it had a sort of rubber/styrofoam feel going around the edges where the actual wires with the lights on them go thru the big hole (you can tell I don't know what I'm talking about) and plug into the light so that most likely will keep out the water. Also, it looks like it seals the trunk from leaking because from the inside I felt around the outside of the hole and the foamy material goes around it and seems like it seals up. Wondering if everything is ok now?

 

Yeah I use to have the 3ds and they were the same way for me and no leaking for me . They look nice on blue. Just an idea you can paint the black part blue to match your ride better. Nothing to worry about .

 

Thanks for the tip! I was really considering painting the black part e-blue and still am. So you had the same issue as me? Thank goodness its nothing to worry about because we've had dark clouds in the area all day.

 

i had da same problem wit my altezza's and i had them for over a year now and no damage but mine was da left one.

 

same here with my tail lights, there is a slight gap like yours but have not had any problems with leaking.....i have had em on for a pretty long time now

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate it
