Tail Light Mounting Tabs
 
I'm having the toughest time tracking down the tabs that the tail lights slide on to. Does anyone happen to know the PN? The previous owner removed them for some reason and replaced with some bracket work and I just want to get it back to OEM mounting so everything lines up better.

There are round plastic fasteners that the tail lights pop into. There are the round parts and also a "plug" that fits into the hole in the body of the car that the round parts pop into.

I believe there are 3 of each per side, so in total you would need 6 round parts and 6 plugs.

I replaced them on a friend's car about a year or so ago so they are available. I would just get up with Ray Crowe, he will know just what you need and get the right part.

The tail lights should slide into the plastic hold-downs from the side and pop into place. Then there are 3 screws up top that secure it.

spot on Dale! Exactly what I saw when I took apart a friends car. Thankfully, in this short time since posting, someone reached out having a bucket of them!

I have one broken fastener - hopefully whoever has a bucket of them will see this post!
