I just went to walmart and bought a meter of 3m double stick velcro. I then cut it into thin strips to fit inside the black grooves on my grid tail lights.

its not the answer you were looking for, but I didn't want to drill into my lens.

GET THE LUND ONES!! They fit 100X better than the others. Rounded edges, and tuck between the bumper cover and the tail light. MUCH CLEANER LOOK! You only use the Velcro on the top of the lens.

never fall off or become loose. the only problem I've ever had was some hooligan trying to steal them one night outside the bar. after a brief conversation he left with a fat lip to match his big mouth.
