Default Custom Dynamics LED tail troubles
Today I got my integrated LED taillight today from Custom Dynamics and went to put it on right away. It started out really easy, until I went to actually screw on the taillight. It says in the instructions to screw it down until it's fully seated. When I do this on my bike the brake lights come on when the screws are fully seated. If I back them out a little, the brake light goes back off. So, should I just leave the screws backed out? I'm worried that having the housing not fully seated will cause leaks and water damage. Has anyone else had this problem before? Maybe I'm missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

That sounds crazy!
You should post a link to the item you got so that people could check it out and try to figure out what is going on.
