The screws that hold the cover over my license plate bulbs are so rusted, the crumble when trying to take them out. I need to replace the bulbs. Anyone have the part # for that screw? I will need (4) of them.

Thanks.

I don't mind paying 1$/screw for 4 screws, but another $9 is steep for shipping. Anyone know what size they are??

you can probably take that part# to a local nissan dealer and get the screws from them and not pay for shipping

True. They are so rusted up, I expect the heads to pop of when I try to take them out. Was hoping to have them in hand before I try to take old ones out.

Yeah, all 4 of my screws broke. I'm gonna fab up something else to replace those lights.

If you can get one out just take it down to the local hardware store, hardware, not big box home improvement like Home Depot, and buy new stainless screws. Metric is nice, but often numbered screws are so close as to be interchangeable. Estimated price for 4, $3. Less if you use #8 or $10. Might want to put some anti seize on, even with stainless, as the U nuts are probably not stainless.

Those lights from Amazon are exactly the same as the ones I put on my '02 about 4 years ago. They have worked out very well.

Perfect. I think I'll swap mine out while I have it apart to mount a backup cam.

I replaced the backup lights with the Amazon ones. They work great.
