Default Got the clear lights

I got the clear lights today. Now im wondering how to secure the new clear corner lights onto the light frame. I secured the bumper/blinker light with the two screws,,,, but on the corner lights there are two, 2" little beams that insert into the light frame but the light itself is very loose, there are no threads on the beams but there are slits on each one of them that i dont know what they are for.

The picture needs to be on a 3rd party website like www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com or your photo album on this site. Or upload it by going to the advace post then to manage attachments the upload.

The retainers screw on to the posts. They thread themselfs on.

Alright, so i figured out how to secure the corner lights, and from my first post about clear lights one person said that i needed amber colored turn lights for them to be legal. Now i found the clear bulbs for my truck, but i cannot find the amber colored ones, does anybody have a part # or website i can get them at. My truck a 93 dakota ext. cab

They look like they might.

What I did was go to autozone or any parts store. And get the light bulb for your truck. Then get an amber bulb that looks the same. Has the same shape, size, number of pins on the bottom and the pins on the side. Remember you have 2 light bulbs per side. 4 total you will need.

Post up pics of the truck when you get it finished.
