Default liscense plate lamp went out

I stripped those POS plastic screws taking the assembly out, and I need a bulb now I suppose. Would I be correct in assuming that I need to head on over to the stealership to get this taken care of? Also, **** ford for making plastic screws, what the hell were they thinking?

those plastic screws are push pins. there usually a pain to remove but once there out the insert they screw into can be removed and the bulb housing can be removed.

Already did, but uh, there's gotta be something better to use than those inserts when I put it back on, right?

You could go buy some screws that are the same size if your that worried about it, but I think that the part that those pins push into is plastic as well.

On a side note, dont take your car to the stealership for anything if you can help it.
