okay i found the problem. the cushion on the back of the black lines is thicker than the cushion on the stock tail-lines causing it to not fit. what can i do?

so i called morristown and im send it back to get exchanged. ah the wait is just going to kill me.

when i said "cushion" i meant the foam behind the black lines is much thicker than the foam behind the stock lights near the same area which is having trouble to fit.

i would post pix but my camera wire doesnt work and ima send it back today.

sorry fellas!

Just apply a bit of pressure and use other hand to hand tighten bolts. Mine were the same way.
