I got these here tail lights http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8075560728&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT and the right one just want go on. Does anyone have these?, if so was the right side hard to get in? The left one went on very easy but the right one leaves a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch gap, it just doesnt want to pop in. My factory ones pop's right back on with no problems at all.

i recently installed these tailights
( http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2404155 )
i know when i first installed mine, i had the same problem, after going back and forth i realized my problem was the wiring - the wires clip into those clasp things and the main plug goes near the hole for the trunk. theres a flat spot within the circle on that main plug, and it has to insert into the flat spot within the circle on the tailight.
i hope my description was okay - if not just let me know, i can email you some pics.

Is there a website or some other place where you can directly buy those type. I have those type right now on my '00 Eclipse but I am going to sell it soon for an '03-'05 Eclipse. I really REALLY love those tail lights but I am going to include it with the car when it sells. Plus, I also heard the back of the '03-'05 Eclipse where you bolt the tail lights has only 3 screws instead of four like on mine. But yeah anyways, is there a place where I can get those directly?? Thanks for any help.

I know exactly what your talking about, I thought that was the problem too but then I tried to put the light in with out the wires and it still wouldnt pop in. I'm going to give it one more try today and then they are going back.

Nevermind I figured out what the problem is. The right side one has a plastic "lip" about a 1/2 in. thick on one of the bolts. It sucks, these lights where sick. I guess thats what happens when you get 250 dollar lights on ebay for like 40 bucks counting shipping.
