    tail-light help

    Ok so I installed my altezza lights today (feel free to flame.. sidenote: thanks vamp for your DIY site, I couldn't figure out those stupid plastic clips). Now I'm trying to put my rear lower trunk wall plastic pieces back on. broke one of the phillips plastic screws (I'm assuming I can get replacements at a toyota dealer?).. But then the flat-head cap that fastens to the screw of the tail-light.. the screws on the new lights are shorter, so it doesn't seem to reach. Can I get a longer cap? Or is there a way to get longer screws (they seem to unscrew, but I'm not sure if it's threaded on the other end.. might just be glued).

    One other question.. anyone know the bulb part number (the tiny one on the sides).. it's now clear since the lens is clear, and I want to get a red one.

    lol bro same thing happened to me, i just let those plastic things flap and forgot about them, very insignificant problem if your not doing shows and all that. couldn't think of a good fix for the problem, so i just took my altezza's off eventually and put my stocks back in.

    alright.. duh. I thought about this today and realized I could fix this REAL easy. all I need is a coupler (thick hex nut, like a stand-off you might use with eletronic circuit boards) with the right thread, then tighten a threaded rod into the other end. It'll act as sort of an extender and serve it's purpose.
