    No problem man, the bezel will not rest perfictally on the clear lense there will be a gap. As long as the bezel is attached Properly to the clear lense and dosent move around you will be fine.

    The gap in the pics looks fine. I just use any clear window silicone to seal around the out side of the housing once I'm done what you have should work fine.

    Hey, lights are sealed like a nuns' **. I got them in tonight and parked in the garage, just in case...it's pouring right now! Not ready to test em yet, I put as much of that silicone around them as I could, if they leak I'm throwin cilica gel packets in there and calling It quits.

    Here are some pics:
