Question help install euro altezza tail lights

I have a 95 camaro z28 and just received black euro style altezza tail lights which supposedly can fit 93-97. The back end does not fit in place correctly. Does anybody else have the same problem and if so how do you fix it? Thanks!!

I have the carbon fiber altezza's; they can be a bitch at first, but all you have to do is just play with the wires a bit; thats what made mine not fit correctly at first. Just take your time making those little adjustments.

Thank you ZRAPTOR; we all have our own individual opinions on what will or will not look good on/in our cars.

It's the appearance section and anything that has to do with altering the appearance of our cars belongs here, whether it suits your tastes or not. And if I recall, you've already been in the hot seat for giving people crap like this. I'm sure somebody with an itchy trigger finger would be more than willing to have you out of here again. Also, he's asking for help installing the taillights, not asking for advice on which kind he should get. So if you don't have any help to provide him with getting the taillights in his car, perhaps you should reserve your comments for somebody else's thread.

Man dick, your name says it all...I personally don't like them, but everyone can do what they want to their car. I am sure if you do what the first post said, and keep messing with them they will fit. But I do know the 93 to 96's and the 97's taillight shapes were just a little bit different shape.

Angry i understand

i know how to wire and install lights. i just ordered these things from ebay and they are supposed to fit. it said there might be some modifications and the back of them will not fit in properly. what do they want me to do, dent in the back of the car where the lights go in so that they can fit in there nicely? it's bull! i paid too much for these!

Ok, here's the deal. I'm not trying to be an *******... apparently over the net that's how I come across, I know my name fits me, that's why I picked it But all I'm trying to say, is as a loving "ex camaro owner" I'm trying to keep the name of the car in good standings. I'd rather not see the name dragged through the mud and go the way of the civic name. I just don't like seeing it, if I can by any means influence at least one more person not to rice out their camaro, then I've done my job. There's lots of things you can do to a camaro to make them look good. And I'm for trying new things, and new ideas, but things of this nature have been proven by the majority of people not to look good. Sure, it's his car, his tastes, but if someone changes his taste... it'll be for the better. I just don't understand how 2 years ago if someone posted this it would have been deleted on shear principal alone. Yet now, all the old appearance guys aren't here anymore and a new wave crowd of what seems to be 15 year olds have flooded this place. It's disgusting.

I like the old styles, don't get me wrong! I'm just open-minded and like to try new things and ideas! I wouldn't have purchased this baby if I didn't love her!

I don't like altezza's but I'm not going to flame people for trying to get some help installing them.
