Default how to install sidemarker?

My sidemarker light broke, the two plastic pins sheared. How do I install a new one. I got the part but there are no bolts just the plastic pins... ??
Is there something I'm missing?

There are no bolts holding these on. If the pins broke off you lost the two what i call speed nuts that hold the light in place you need those. just remove out side tail light and go from there.

I sold my yellow markers with a pack of 10 nuts to a forum member. this means there is a GM part number for the pack of 10...just get the nut part number on the forum then you can buy that 10 pack from one of our vendors, or at your dealer.
