this is a weird item because even after taking out my stock corners and just putting them back in, the right side one didnt fit properly, yet it was fine before I took it out. And I pushed it in right, jiggled it, everything to try to make the rubber lining fit flush again like it did before.

Corners are tough to make perfect. Just be happy with it, and use some extra clear silicone if you are that paranoid, its not like they will get flooded with water from the outside unless you totally submerge them in water, and then you got other problems at that point. :x

Won't fit if you have a Gen 1.5 Solara, you gotta modify the lamp. What year is your car?

file down sum of the plastic on the inside where it gets caught from preventing you to have a good fitment...

sealing it up is a good idea too especially if ur in an area that rains a lot

I've had 3 sets of afermarket light housings, 2 corner (1 clear, 1 black), and my altezza tail lights. And NONE of them fit perfectly. Doesn't surprise me at all. Even if you're buying OEM corners. As Solaradude said, get yourself a dremmel and make it fit to your liking.

is it standard for you guys to replace the whole assembly or has any one just removed the yellow plastic from the stock piece?

most of us chose to replace them since removing the yellow reflector has a good chance of cracking the OEM lenses

plus it gives you the choice of going back to stock a lot easier
