Saw one over the weekend and liked it quite well, may look into doing it to our Vette.

I have only seen one C5 with them and I thought it looked pretty nice.

I did mine and I like them

I did mine and like the look.

Here is a write up from another forum.

Here's all you need to do the flush taillight mod:

Parts should be able to be purchased at a local Home Depot.

Parts needed:

• 8 each ½” x ½” round poly spacers with .194” hole.
• 6 each ¼” x ½” round poly spacers with .194” hole.
• 8 each #8 x 2” panhead sms screws.
• 1 package 5/16” x 3/8” auto/marine closed cell foam gasket with sticky on one side.
• Black Sharpie pen.

Step 1 – remove screws from tail lights and carefully let them hang out of the opening by the wire harness.

Step 2 – using the Sharpie, color the heads of the #8 screws black. Push the tip of the pen into the Philips slots to cover the screw with color completely.

Step 3 – Install the foam gasket material onto the taillight housings where the lens meets the black part of the housing, sticking the gasket to the black housing portion.

Step 4 – On the two inboard taillights, install the screws through the holes on the housings and slide 1 each ½” spacer and 1 each ¼” spacer over the screws and slide the taillights back into the openings and tighten the screws.

Step 5 – On the two outboard taillights, repeat step 4 except on the outer most taillight screw only install a ½” spacer and then tighten the screws.

The difference between this installation guide and others is that the others used 1” spacers. When the 1” spacers were used, the top of the taillights stuck out a little on the top and just didn’t look like a factory install.

I flushed mine. Also put cap covers on the screws.

That looks really good Rich

I did mine with cap covers and seals.

Looks great No dust on the lip now no water drip after washing.

I don't like that look IMO.

It's a good look.:rockon6rk:

I flush mounted my Euros, and put the caps on the screws, too. It's a little touch that I think adds that completed look. Photos show a little comparison on the covers.

I had my tailights flush mounted for a few weeks as I did not like the stuff that was accumulating in the light-wells.

After about a month, I decided I liked the recessed look better and didn't mind the dirt so I won't go back.

Dont personally care for the flush look :catfight:

Where did you get the screw caps or did they come with your lights

I had to buy the screw caps separately. Got 'em at Lowe's, they are #6 hinged screw covers, I think they were 2 in a pack. It was 2 years ago, I don't recall the price, but not much. Also, you can put the factory screws in there if a person didn't want the flush mounting and use them, they won't thread in quite as much (like maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 turn less), but it can be done for sure. My flush mount kit came with the longer screws so it wasn't an issue. They are silver screws however and I painted the tips black, but then later when I used the caps it didn't matter.

Thank you

You know, maybe I'll do this in the summer.
