BIG UN

hi everyone,hope you can help. my e46 330ci came with clear rear lights all round, they wernt to my taste so i sourced some red bottom/clear top ones along with the boot lid fog ones. ive tried to fit the boot lid ones but they seem loose:frown ive clipped the outsides around the edge of the boot but the insides of each lens are springing back up, and when i shut the boot they pop out :angry: :blink: :unsure: theyre proper oe bmw lights,the side light/stop light part of the kit fit fine, been at it all evening in the dark and rain,but ive had to put the clear fog/reverse ones back in.its driving me mad,am i missing a way of pulling them in flush and tightening them please?? thanks for any help. :(

i know,helps knowing the owner of the car lot lol. he owes me a few favours...still does. ;) he has a 335 d too,my dad wants it in p/x for his merc ML500 v8 but the guy cant stop driving it himself and loves it haha so we have 1st choice on it when he decides to let it go. luvly motor with hardly any miles on it and a cracking set of wheels on it too.

lol,and quite rightly so lexus lights should be banned! anyone with such lack of taste has no business buying a bmw in the first place :angry: its the 1st job on my list,which oem rear light lens will fit lads? does it have to be y2k like my car as i have chance of some off a 2002 convertible? next job is find a 330 ci rear badge from god knows were :blink: cant believe the boot hasnt got one on,maybe the lexus light fitting numpty removed it,the prat. cant find one on ebay though,which surprised me. weres the best place for this badge please? i also want the bmw bonnet badge as mines faded a little. gota get it right before starting a few mods.

cheers for the warm welcome guys,yeah,i hate lexus lights,even on lexus ffs lol. just got back from picking it up,drives superb,interiors mint, harmon kardon set up sounds fantastic, slipped it into sport on the auto and used the paddle shifters, and !Removed! loved it,like a kid in a new toy store!!! makes you wonder how folk manage without a beemer tbh :D B) are the rear lights easy to change over please? and am i better getting some standard ones or are the l.e.ds on ebay ok? im guessing like most things,theres some crap about. think they were both around £110 on ebay. cheers for any advice. ;)
