Is this fitment common with depo blacklines.

K19BMW · 10-10-2013, 10:21 PM

I read a lot of reviews about the Depo Blacklines and how they fit like stock so I decided to pick myself up a pair. Once I installed them I noticed immediately that their is a gap between the panel and the lens that wasn't their when my originals were in. Everything is tightened 100% and in place.
My question is, is this normal fitment with the blacklines or did I just get a bad pair

doesnt look that bad.

you could move them and retighten them if you want a more oem look. maybe change the inner tails also.

I think it should be ok, it doesn't look bad since the color of your car is dark.

Try adjusting them some more. Mine fit fine.

I did change the inner tails and they looked even worse.

They look much worse in person than they do in the pictures. The gap is very noticeable. I think I might have gotten a dud pair. I am going to return them and go with the OEM Blacklines.

usually depo is good. are you sure you are holding it where it needs to be and tightening evenly?

my friend had the same problem. he sold it and bought oem blacklines. looks perfect.
