yes..... it came off a DB9, but ive been told they are suppoosed to be the same part. it doesnt look like they are identical, or im missing a the tequinque to adjust it better. it seems pretty straight forward, and what i need to do to get the edge to tuck in would push the inner side WAY out where it would not be flush. the stock , original side is flush from side to middle to inner .

i took the worst angle so you can see the issue, but it does look pretty good in person. (but , i would think this car should be perfect in areas like this)

It will fit, part number is 4G43-13405-AL

Just the left light has been installed to tight on a previous car which has caused the corner to curl the red lens..you will never be able to make it flush unless you heated the and curved it back in hopes that it will work not not crack (by corner I mean the left most end of the left tail light)

The adjustment is also....hehe horrible. Both lights are out of adjustment, your right light should not have a gap light that at the right most corner also.

The mid section will be flush to the tail lid at the top and the side..the corner will be almost flush to the 1/4 panel..

Adjusting the lights until you get the hang of it..can take 5 minutes to daaaays on end!!

that makes sense. the adjustment shouldnt be that big of a deal. im usually pretty good at this kind of stuff too. generally, you put the brake light assy in the car, put it where you want it, and then hold it there while tighting down/ positioning the adjusters. this assembly, seems like its warped. But, its hard to imagine that the adjusters could effect the end of the light assembly.

the other side doesnt look that far off the body in person.... kind of the camera angle. (that gap you see)
