taillight bolt broken-help!

intalling my new taillights i broke one of the stud bolts, they look exactly the same as the oem, is there anyway to take the studs out of the oem ones and put them in my aftermarket ones? and do you know any other options I have to attach this light. thanks

Well if you look at your tails... can you actually take the stud out? If not you might be able to get away with only using the two studs.

If you can take them out... just swap it out from your factory tails and use those studs.

AlienX will become famous soon enough
this is a little risky, but you can try to heat up the bolt and try to slide it out of the plastic, doing the same with the stock and just swapping. You can try to call up a machine shop and see if they can fix it, that would prob be your best bet and safest.
