Sorry man. not digging the gap at all.

I bought a set of each, one OEM and one OEM "style" hoping to minimize the gap that you have. I have also heard of people using a heat gun to get the bezel to sit more flush w/ the bumper.

I hope mine come out better than yours, if not I may end up buying a new bumper.

I sure have Bass.

When I first saw the Odyssey lights I thought that they where the $hit but after seeing the Civic light I knew I had to go that direction instead. I also realize that they are for aestetics purposes only and if my fake brake ducts weren't cut out already I probably wouldn't be installing ANY driving lights. I'm just tired of the Coastal Metals grills in there.

Mabye you could pull the fog lights out some, fill the gap in with Bondo, then repaint the front bumper? The frame of the fog lighsts could be raised out of the insert and would look natural.

Give me a week, I'll have a set for sale cheap. I bought OEM ones but they came w/ gray / silver bezel and I decide I'd like a black bezel better. I ordered a "style" set in black. So, I'll have two sets and only need one.
