Have you guys replaced the side markers? I reached up under the fender and the bulbs are there, but I thought there were nuts on the studs?
I am beginning to think a previous owner might have glued mine on..

As with all PAL nuts, they cut their own threads in the plastic studs on the backside of the marker when you screw them on. Easy does it when snugging them down.

Check with your local AP store or hardware store for these nuts I have seen them available there before. Dealers will rape you on prices. If the studs are broken off, maybe that's why someone tried glue or double-sided tape.

If you need a replacement light, check with Marc at Vettenuts.com. They usually have good clean used C5 parts at reasonable cost (615-896-6100). I've also seen them on the big auction site. Many come with the nuts.

Btw, easy access to these is through the outside tail light opening.

First set I bought at O Reilly rounded off very easy. Napa had the better ones.
