I bought the tail light assembly (driver side), but it doesn't come with the bolt /screw. Want to know how to take the bolts from the old one and how to put it on to the new one.
do i just glue the screw in that hole?

thanks

when i replaced my tail lights, i used the factory hardware...wasn't glued in...i unbolted the old tail light and put the new one in...

i mean, my new new doesn't have any bolt.
so i want to take the bolts from the old one to put them on to the new one.

i think i confused myself with bolt and screws.
to put the assembly on, the bolt is fastened to the screw that is attached to the assembly.
the problem is, i have the bolt, but the screw isn't attachted to teh assembly.
so the assembly is just a piece of plastic with none of the metal screws attached.

Unscrew the originals out of the old lamp, and install them into the new.....

Ya better post some pics.

When I replaced my gen6, it comes with 3 screws, and I used the old (factory) nuts to hold them in place, but again, that's a gen6.
