Okay so after I started installing them I found one thing that concerns me. Khoalty's DIY mentions a black trim piece that you will need to save from your old lights and put on the new ones. My car doesn't seem to have this.
"Also you have to use the black trim things off your current lights and move them to your new ones. These are a b*tch to remove if you have never done it before. The easiest way I could do it was to insert a small flathead screwdriver between and pry up gently. You could try spraying WD-40 on the fins that clip and then sliding it off… but I don’t know how well that would work. I went with the screwdriver. Getting these off your old lights and onto your new ones is probably the toughest part aside from pulling all the panels off the car. You can see the black trim I am talking about on the outside of the trunk on the left side of the picture."
Ok so I originally thought it was this piece.
But that piece doesn't look like it is supposed to come off, and there would be no way to attach it to the EE light.
Notice the lack of a gap when the OEM light is installed.
Compared to the gap with the EE light installed
Will this allow water to leak in over time? Or am I just over reacting? Why doesn't my car have the black trim piece that is mentioned in the DIY?
