H3 Tail light screw anchors

I'm not sure if anyone else has had problems with the little metal anchors not holding the tail lights securely as they should. Today I noticed that the top anchor had pulled free from the body of the vehicle once again. I went to fix it in the parking lot and in the end, o e ended up breaking while the other fell to the ground of the parking lot and was never found. Luckily there was a Lowes right next to where I was parked. I checked the hardware section and found these

The package claims the anchors are rated for 77 lbs. They fit perfectly in the hole and feel a lot more sturdy than the little clip that was in there previously. If you don't have tail light guards you probably have no problem with the current clips. With the light guards, people like to pull on them for some reason, testing sturdiness? Just thought I'd post this up in case anyone else needed some new anchors from people tugging on their guards.

Ben... That's awesome. I'm definitely in need of this fix.
Usmc... Just pop those retainers off the pins and put a little super glue on em and stick em back in the holes. Let em dry for a little bit and pop the tail lights back in.

I managed to just take the screw out with the clip intact, I then stretched out the clips to ensure they'd grab this time. Its holding pretty tight so I'm not worried about it for now.... although I have to do some touch up under the light soon cause I just scratched it pretty deep with my flat head. Hopefully I'll have the same luck next time
