Dreaded License Plate Light Problem

Well, I found out that I have the dreaded license plate light problem. My 3rd high brake light was out. So I replaced the bulb and it's now working fine. In the process of working on that, I noticed my license plate lights weren't working. I replaced those bulbs, but it didn't work.

So, I popped out onto this forum and found that this is a problem common to many. And I found that there's lot's of good intel here on the forum to repair it - including this service bulletin:

I just wrapped up this job and everything is working correctly. Although it did take me an hour instead of the 30 minutes as suggested by TSB

Does anyone know where you can find the fasteners to affix the wire looms back in place to the rear trunk hinge?
