    Tail light studs broken

    Alright, so i was installing my red/clears and for some reason one of the studs broke and fell out. I tried screwing it back into the tail light, but it stripped the plastic part that attaches into the tail lights. What can i do to repair this?
    i was thinking about using some super glue, but i dont know if it's strong enough.
    I also have some permatex high and medium strength thread locker, but i dont know if that will work. I have a very little amount of thread locker, cause they are only sample packets, but i think it's enough.

    Ya, this happened to a friend of mine when he was putting in his red/clears. Best bet is to either epoxy or crazy glue it back in there and be gentle next time.

      Go to home depot and buy the Gorilla super glue. I heard it's pretty good, I've used there tape and expandable glue and it's great. Don't worry the right inner lower stud broke with mine but mounted great because of the clip.

        I'm missing one of mine on my passenger side inner tail. You can't even tell once you get the other 3 tight.

          alright, thanks guys.
          i already got some super glue last night from a local store, and it seems to be holding pretty tight for now.
