I got it installed today and will add a picture as soon as my phone recharges. But I have to say the quality on the J&P lamp is pretty poor. And for only $43 I wasn't expecting a lot. The hardware is crap, the rubber base gasket is deformed and the lamp socket is junk.
But the body looks good.
Got mine from a different supplier but I'm sure it is similar. Yes, the base gasket wouldn't lay flat so I used a bit of clear sealant to hold it to the contour of the fender before I screwed down the taillight.

The lamp socket is kind of light weight, but not much different than what I've seen before. The supplied bulb IS WEAK and I was worried if drivers behind me could see me stopping. There isn't a nice reflector behind the bulb to diffuse the light like the stock one so I got a SuperBright LED bulb to replace the weak aftermarket bulb supplied in the kit.

But ...... after all the work that low profile taillight does look good!

Aloha,

I used Posi-lock T connectors due to limited space and positive screw connections . tried to post pic from phone but couldn't make work. Just had rotator cuff surgery so down and out for a while. Installed Hyperlites using their license plate bracket, and a black LED license plate frame. CBXBob.
