What are these little tail light plastic pieces called?

Well, I've moved on to a new project of the firebird.. mounting the taillights. They've been hanging off for awhile now, and just held on by some friendly duct tape

Anyways.. duct tape only does so much for so long, so I was wondering what those those little black pieces that hold the taillights on are called. I have a picture below of what it is that I'm missing if you can help. It's an '88 firebird.



Also, if anyone knows where a good place to find them is, that'd help too. If not, I'm sure I can just find them from ebay somewhere..

EDIT: Is this what I need?:

hah, ya, and that's my BETTER taillight, so I'm sure I'm missing a few on the other side xD

But I have a few washers laying around that should do the trick if needed. If not.. then, it won't hurt to put what I have on now, then put the others on later.

Thanks for all the help

I went to a pic and pull and paid $5. each side. Time you pay inflated shipping on e bay everyone is charging, you could buy new.
