So i bought this altezza's years ago but lately after looking at other pics and considering the halo headlights i was wondering if this gap is gonna be a issue with the headlights too? and im tempted to buy another set of tailights if it will get rid of the gap....i forgot where i bought them from...Image

Did you install them correctly? Make sure its in all of the clips properly... my aftermarket tails fit fine.

There is no link between the people who make the tail and the headlights.

One style of headlights is a bit smaller, but they both fit good.

im 99% sure i installed them properly...the clips lined up with the bar's body and it only has that one screw that screw's into the car towards the center of the car...just seems real shady...one screw to hold the entire piece in...

well it only requires one screw cause those clips hold it in damn good, how did you uninstall them? by sliding it or pulling? (if you pulled them out, you may need new clips)

You sure you pushed it in enough?

Yea its pushed in all the way. if you look at the first pic you can see the taillight liner is lined up with the hatch lining. if you run your hand across is flush with the car its just that gap...

Dude, no... push it in. You messed up somewhere. Take it out and put it in again if you have to. No one else has had these problems.

Ya, those pics don't really help me to see, but I swear it needs one more little push to pop it in flush.

There are two styles (that i have seen), one set pushes in from the back of the car to the front, the other set pushes from the middle of the car toward the outside of the car sideways. I have had both set's and the one's that push from the back to the front had a huge gap in fitting, these were my carbon fiber looking one's.

maybe try them on another mx-3. Afterall these are made in China and their workmanship is not up to par.
