When you have your tail lights out you might want to think about raising the vinyl bumper, about half of the 300s coming off the assembly line have a wedge shaped margin between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the fender. I am a real car freak and couldn't stand to see that wedge. Once the lights are out you need to frabricate a piece of steel about 3/4" X 3" to go under the vinyl flap, you need to duplicate that with one on the top with a runner going up, you then use a pillow and jack to raise the bumper so thst the margin is perfect then a couple of sheet metal screws to the inside of the tail lights. {these will all be covered by the tailight} Reinstall the tail light and stand back and enjoy. I realize I am a perfectionist about my cars but that poor fit really bothered me, it was the first thing that my eye was attracted to. Took me about 2 hours total to frabricate and install. If any of you are as nuts as I am and want to do this to your car I could take pictures if you need. "hemidale"
there it is.. let me bring the link back up..
