Cheap Tail Light Repair
 

So the story starts with, I had a burned out Reverse light. And in the process of removing the light to replace it, the plastic clips used to hold the light in place explode, well break. Called the dealer and he doesn't have any in stock. Asked him the price for this jewel and it's 2.47 a piece. Did some searching around and found some 5/8 X 5/16 rubber grommets at Lowes for a 1.09 a pack for 2. Installed them and they work great so when the next light goes out I wont have to worry about the Extra cost just to put my light back in. 2.25 for 4 rubber grommets at Lowes and I won't have to replace them for a long time or the 10.70 it would of cost from the dealer.


The factory clip after it broke cause I needed to replace a burnt light.
