Gen 6 reverse light screws
 
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.

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

mak330 Apr 28, 2010 04:47 PM

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.
