Default Aftermarket Headlight Fitament

I got a set of aftermarket headlights and the rubber seal around the outside is to skinny and doesn't fit right. Did anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?

yes its common on the ebay headlights.

Depos are a little better but not as good as stock.

Reuse your stock rubber piece as mentioned above.

Thanks guys. I'll have to find some stock ones somewhere. My car was in a accident and on of the rubber seals is no good.

I too have some "ebay lights" and the drivers side fits great (like stock) and the passenger side doesn't..at the bottom of the light there is a gap between the light and the facia (bumper)..I've adjusted it with no improvements. I did reuse the stock rubber surrounds and that didn't help at all.
It almost looks like the light itself sits too far back in the hole. Anybody got any pics of theirs?

I have the same problem you speak of... the headlights themselves don't fit right it seems.

Yup the Eagle Eyes (ebay all black) ones as I've tried to warn from the beginning do not fit as good as stock or DEPOs.

They have their issues...

ebay headlights good?

Headlights still getting condenstation...

Where to get the best quality black and chrome headlights
