I have recently taken off my reverse lights and tinted them. The only problem was that the torx screws holding them in were rusted and stripped. I ended up getting them out but they all have a metal clip that goes around the plastic part (of the bumper) with a hole in each side to fasten the light to the car and one of them snapped. Does anybody know what these are called or where I could get some?

I have put the covers back on for now but with only 3 screws instead of 4

Thanks

 

I would imagine any dealership could get those for you.

 

or bro just go to a junkyard FAST AND EASY

 

I figured i goto a dealership(didn't think of junkyard but do have to go to one for the trunks interior light clip as well, guess I can do both there), but was just wondering if anybody knew what they are called....

 

Haha, I found this funny because today I did the same thing. Took my reverse lights off, tinted them, and stripped one of the screws putting it on. Only held on by 3 screws..seems to still be working!

 

you can buy threaded clips from autozone. i lost one on my intake installaton. there very cheap, maybe 3 bucks.



idk what you guys are talking about, mine has phillips screws. doesnt really matter, just take a screw up there to compare.

i dont get why ppl buy the same junk part from the dealer thats going to go bad again. i think theres are coated too. plus way cheaper.

 

I think he's talking about the metal piece that the screw goes into. Not the screw itself.

 

Thanks for the help
I have been looking into this and apparently they are called 'u nuts'

incase anybody else was wondering

 

im not sure what there called but they look like clips that go around an edge and have threads in them. i said take a screw so you can match up the size. they have a whole spin case of them.
