I have done some searching and can't seem to come up with these. Does anyone know where to get the replacements for the press in pins at the top of the taillight assembly on the checkered tail lights. There are two plastic shiny press in pins on each tail light at the top. These hold the assembly together at the top. Where can I get a suitable replacement. I don't really want to drive a screw in the hole. I would like to keep it looking stock.

Thanks.

 

I am not sure if they are the same, but this is what member motobooks used on his tail light assemblies. Check the link.

That retainer he pictures looks a lot like the fender splash panel push in retainers only smaller. I will give it a try. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate the guidance.

Holy hell good find! I had given up years ago and just used black phillips head screws. haha

 

Awesome, they are what I have been searching for. That is exactly it. I am going to order these and keep the stock look. Thanks for the research!!! I bet this will help a few other third gen fans too.

 

I'm not sure if you have to order the pack of 25 or if you could order a few,if you have to get the pack of 25 i'm sure you can sell them here.I'm in a set if you have to.

 

I've got a box of them(!). Send me a PM...

 

I ordered them and will have extras. Since you found them I would be happy to send you 4 of them for your taillights. Free. Just PM me your mailing and address and I will put them in the mail to you. Thanks for the research.

So the 3/16" are the correct ones? Not the 1/4"?

 

Anybody know? I'm ready to start snapping this thing back together!
