Dome light clips.... help?
Ok so i went to install my new dome light on my build and found two huge holes for the screws. I assume there is some type of cage nut or clip that retains the screw. I have tried buying several j type clips with no avail....does anyone know what the clips should look like or where to get them. Or is there some other method of attachment im missing. The cab was stripped when I got it....
Thanks again Rob....

I haven't used one of the replacement light assemblies but the originals had two plastic clips molded into the back and just snapped into the holes. When you try to remove the original housings the plastic clips almost always break off. LockDoc

Both of my clips broke - so I just used zip ties and it worked great!
