Re: tail lights
Mine are still recessed, but have slotted covers.

Re: tail lights
do you need to extend the wires at all or just double up the gasket?

Re: tail lights
you want to just use extra gaskets and some longer screws. what i did is glued 4 gaskets together then trimed them to so that they sat flush with the slope of the back . It take a little trial and error but the end result is very cool. opps left this out you are just extending the lenses out

Re: tail lights
My tail lights are the euro style which fit more flush to begin with. I then added some rubber washers between the housings and the bumper until I was happy with the look. I added more to one side of the housing than the other to even out the angle of the lights in the bezels. Longer bolts were required. You could also increase the gasket thickness between the housing and the lense as noted above, on the euro lights you would have to fill in the center divider or the light would bleed through between the red and amber sections. I think you'd have one hell of a thick gasket to bring them out as far as I did though. Here's a pic for you Keith.
