Taillight problem

I recently bought a pair of JDM taillights on eBay for $90, the left one sticks out of the side of my car about 1/4 of an inch and it bothers the hell out of me. I thought I might have tightened the screws too much, but that isn't it, it's literally like bent/crappy made. Is this a known problem? Is there anything to do to fix this besides spending the money for a new pair? I like them and would like to fix them cheap if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Good luck. Oven and bend and hold. Too much trouble to get a perfect fit. Send it back and say it doesnt fit. Buy a set that fits. They are normally ment to go in the first time and never come out again. It bent for that reason. When you pulled it out. Its not really strong plastic.

As soon as I installed it I saw that it was bent, I haven't taken them out since then, but I'm not even sure if it's worth sending back, maybe just get a new brand, and not be cheap anymore. Idk...

um yea. But I assumed since he drives a lancer he was looking for lancer tail lights not evo. I assumed he just put it in the wrong section.
