HERE IS A QUICK, SIMPLE AND CHEAP SOLUTION for the gap on the facelift taillights. And that is if you can stand to have the chrome frame. I dont like them but maybe I can live with it to get this quick fix. All you need is the chrome frame and high gloss reflex tejp. The tejp is sturdy and even E-marked and aproved as a reflex. But if you want it more stabile you can Always add som plastic plate behind it. And since the new taillights misses this reflex it also adds that option to it. And when it comes to the frame you can Always color it in any color or smoke it and so on if you dont like chrome.





It might not show in the bad pics but it REALY looks OEM...Like it should be like tat and follows the lines of the light design.


And I am only holding it in Place here. It is not attached.

very creative solution. I think painting the chrome rings to match the body color and affixing a hard plastic backing behind the reflective tape (maybe using something as simple as sheet styrene) would give a pretty nice result for most people to try this swap on their own
