Side Marker Film Question - Different Lengths?

I'm tinting the side markers tomorrow with the film and I have a question:

I could have sworn I read in a different thread that the rear side markers are a bit longer than the fronts (or maybe it's the other way 'round), and that the film kit is cut to take this into consideration... Is that right? Being me, I must... MUST I say, know everything before I even get the porduct into my hands.

Thanks in advance!

If you are talking about the front reflector lights in the bumper trim, the film is a little bit too small. When I put mine on, I noticed this. I got my kit from Moss MINI and what I did, to make it less noticable was to match the film up with the top of the light. You will still have a little area on the bottom of the reflector that is not covered by the film, however when looking at the car if you left some reflector showing on the top, people might see that more than the bottom.

I hope that makes sense. If not, I can try and re-explain it.

They are, in fact, different lengths. I can take some pics later if no one else has any better info, Here is one pic, but you can't really get a good idea of how much difference there is, but hopefully it helps a bit:
