Wasn't sure where to post this question, opted for the P6 Electrics section.
Yesterday I wasn't paying sufficient attention as I reversed before departing a parking spot. I managed to hook my rear number plate lamp underneath the bottom edge of the bumper of the lifted SUV parked behind me. When I moved off it yanked the whole lamp off my rear bumper. I shattered the lens and chipped the paint on my valance panel. Wouldn't have happened if I had refitted the overriders when I put on a new re-chromed rear bumper recently. Now it is scratched all along the top on one side. Doh! So annoyed with myself.
The two mounting bolts snapped off at the base of the thread. They have flat heads, and a short square section before the thread begins, which registers in the square holes in the pressed piece inside the lamp to prevent them twisting. What is this type of fastener called, and where can I get two new ones?
