Side Marker Light Hardware
Wrecked my '99 and had to replace the header panel, and have everything back together except for the side marker lights.... There were plastic snap-in nuts that the 2 screws for each lense went into, and I was unable to recover them from the old header. I've done immense amounts of searching the forums and google and quadratec and looking for exploded diagrams but I can't find these anywhere, anyone have any ideas?

pretty sure those can be found in license plate mounting kits if i'm not mistaken. Or you can try the headlamp adjusting ones too.

They're referred to as square nylon nuts.

Cool, now I just have to choose the right one... lol
I had an issue when I was reattaching my fenders, I thought multiple times I had the correct P/N and ended up ordering something 3 sizes too big with the wrong thread pitch... But I'll give the dorman ones a try, thank you!

I Had that same issue... I dug around my shop, found an aluminum arrow insert. Cut it down and super glued it in. Found a machine screw that'd fit and figured it'd at lest get me by till I replaced the assembly. Its still going strong lol

So I looked long and hard at what they had to offer at Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, and even a fastener warehouse called Hillco Fasteners. When I went to Lowe's I found some Hillman stuff with the same PN as the Dorman ones posted here earlier. Nothing fits. I figured maybe it might be easier for me to post photos of the holes in question. Struggling to find the right fasteners for the headlight bezels, turn signals, and grille as well.

I actually looked up the hillman equivalent to the dorman PN and looked for that. But thanks for trying to pick apart my question instead of actually trying to be helpful.
