Default taillight screws

I just recieved my lx taillights i bought on ebay and found that half the screws and nuts were missing. I just emailed the guy and told him about it. does anyone know where i can buy new ones? Any websites that sell these? They're certain kinds of screws that you can't buy just anywhere. Hopefully I'll get some pics of them up tomorrow for you. thanks

U could remove the ones off of your GT tailights unless u want to keep those assembled.

+1 Why not just use the ones that are already on there? They are just speed nuts and yes you can buy them at a local hardware store.

I went to a hardware store already and they do not carry those types of screws and nuts. I guess i can just use the ones from my gt lights but I'd rather have a complete set for each of the taillights. If i can't find any though, i suppose i don't have a choice.

Im kind of confused.... I only had speed nuts for my tailights. And they sell them at Ace Hardware, not sure about Home Depot but I would think so.

well maybe I'll try ace hardware and home depot. I went to a local small hardware store but they had an entire wall of screws and nuts to choose from and didn't have them.

Go to your local auto paint store and they should have them there by the pack.. I forget the brand of them but they make all the plastic clips, molding retainers and nuts for almost every type of car.
