seems to me we took the little white plastic square nut pushed with my thumb into the hole for it (2 for each lite) and reinstalled the lites., note....start both screws on each lite before tightening them up!!

hope this helps....bill

Bill, thats what I was thinking. But I don't have any holes for them.

Go there and check out the bottom. Can I drill holes out, glue them in.....

Mike,
I just drilled through the lights into the bumper and bought long bolts from a hardware store (and retainer clips) instead of cutting out the bumper and drilling out the rusted plates fron the original and riveting them in. Beware, the two lights are different as to pin placement! Hope this helps.

I was thinking of doing that. I'm just getting ready to prime the bumper.
