Tight tail light buckets

[Dieselmeister]

HMMWV Team,

I have to replace my tail light buckets. I have two sets of new ones, but the lights barely fit. I will need to take my heat gun, and soften them up to get the light to fit (afraid I will crack the bucket if I force fit the lights).

Are all buckets like this, or did I get some aftermarket junk? If so, are there any sellers that sell "good" buckets?

Thanks.

Unless you bought it from one of the dependable sellers like HPG or Kascar it is likely Chicom.

Cheap A$$ knock offs... the lamp housing will not bottom out in the buckets so the lamp housing sticks out about 1 1/2 +/-. Where did you get them ??

Maybe chineeeze dimensions? CAMO
