Tail light push clips?

Hi guys, while working on aligning my rear tail light lenses, the little push on clip broke and I can’t get the housing to bolt on. I’ve included a pic

Can anyone steer me to where I can buy those replacement Cousy on clips (and confirm what they are called)?

Thank you for the help!

Those are called "speed nuts" or "clip nuts". Auto parts and hardware stores carry them

Thank you!

LMC seemed to carry them for a few cents a piece, confirmed via their drawing.

I went ahead and ordered online since I’m in no hurry.

Thanks for the help!

No need to order online and pay more for shipping than the actual cost for the parts.. J Nuts are very common fasteners and every hardware store and automotive parts store, even Harbor Freight has them in stock..

Ended up picking those clips up from LMC and installed yesterday.

Bulbs replaced and taillights are back to working properly again.

Thank you for the help.
