The above picture was the first attempt . I had to remove and reapply the weather stripping farther up, (pic is upside down, so I moved the strip closer to the pen in the photo) till I got the correct gap.

You don't need to see the light pipe through the gap, you need to rotate the light pipe so it projects the light through the gap and reflects off the dash.
The drivers side is more difficult to seat the dash plaque flush because of its curve.
I elongated the hole I drilled in the dash by the instrument panel (with a round file) so that I could lift the pipe up or down based on where the weather stripping was moved( see the second pic in previous post.

Hope this helps.
Thanks man, that actually does help! I have much thicker tape inside, and i broke it down to small peaces not full length and thinner like you did that's probably why on mine is coming out....

I will try to do this as soon as I get my newly ordered tuned pipes, and hope that handles both of my concerns..

Thanks again!
