Default Red Tailight Overlays

Hey guys,
I recently purcahsed a set of red out overlays from ebay and when I tried test fitting them, the overlays were actually a lot bigger than the actual amber part. Is it suppose to be bigger or should it be the exact size of the amber part of the tailights? Thanks.

I ordered mines on ebay and it was about 7 bucks shipped and the color matches well. It was slightly bigger but just got a blade and trimmed it off.

+1. I couldn't agree more. The Rvinyls are almost a perfect match.
