I just got replacement rear side markers for my replacement bumper. I dont have the electrical wires, so they are not being powered (just attached to bumper). But I'm not sure how they attach to the bumper. It looks like it needs 2 pieces. If anyone knows what bolts I need or where to get them, I would really appreciate it.

are you talking about the bulb sockets that go in the marker lights and hold the bulb in place inside the light, or are you talking about the rear side marker light wiring harness that is in behind the rear bumper, or are you talking about the 10mm nuts that hold the rear side marker lights in place? 1 per side.

I dont have any wiring inside the bumper.

I am not hooking up any bulbs to the side markers

So all I need is the 10mm nut?

I noticed there is a notch to slide a bolt into. But what is it connecting to? The bumper is hollow inside.

yes, if you don't plan on hooking up the lights and making them work the all you need to hold them in there is two 10 mm nuts, one for each side. i would call toyota on these though because the nuts are quite a bit larger than your average 10mm nut, i believe they are about .67 cent each from toyota. also to prevent rain water from getting inside the marker lights i would still put the bulb sockets inside the lights.

Update:

I bought the nuts but have nothing to screw them onto. The toyota people said the lights were supposed to have bolts attached to them. Here are my lights.

did you buy OEM Toyota marker lights? they should have came with the square bolt already in them. what you are missing is a small bolt that has a square head on it and it fits into the square part with the notch in it on the backside of the light.

I either got them off this site or my.is in the sale section (months ago). Now im finally putting them on. I guess it serves me right for waiting so long. You think i can find these bolts anywhere?

where can i get these bolts though?

i can send you them if you want them, i have two spare rear lights that broke when i took them off the back bumper, some of the plastic tabs broke off from being a few years old and etc they basically crumbled, so i had to buy two new rear ones from toyota, also bought two new front ones. pm me your address and i will mail you the two bolts free. when i bought my car used a year ago it had clears on the front and factory toyota red ones on the rear, and the clears had moistre in them so i bought a whole set of smoked side markers, then the plastic tabs basically crumbled off the OEM back ones taking them off so i bought a whole brand new OEM Toyota set of side markers because i live in Va and all lenses have to be DOT or SAE approved and the smoked ones aren't either, so come inspection time i gotta swap side markers our for the new set i got.

go to a parts house and look it the body fastener/retainer section and there will probably be something similar that will work or have 03LexIS300 send you those if you dont mind the wait
