While true, what he’s using is acceptable for a driver. At least they aren’t rusty and mismatched…

Hmmm, they look like the screws I see in the other pictures, plus they were what was on it when I took it apart.
Do you have picture of the correct screws?

Only one screw showing in my post and it looks the same as what I am seeing here.

Here's a closeup of the screw that attaches the lamp to the bumper. It looks like it has a washer, but it's part of the screw .....

I'll have to look for those types of screws as the ones I took off the car didn't have that built in washer.
Another question I have is about the square plastic fasteners as seen on the tilt out plate holder.
These fit nice and snug in the plate holder but not so good in the front bumper area. Is there a way to snug them up?

Yes, I have one in waiting, with a new positive cable as well.
I'll have to dig through some boxes of parts to see what else I'm going to need in the electrical department.

Speaking of spending more money, I cannot find my trunk lock. Any suggestions as to who produces a quality one?

The thing is I haven't seen a repop yet that wasn't third world metallurgy... Which means they fail pretty quickly.... Usually the cylinder binds/galls to the outer housing....
I prefer to find originals & have them re-keyed...
Trunk/glovebox & console should all be keyed alike....
In the past I was able to source NOS sets... These days I doubt that can be done....
Considering the trunk sees 10+ times the use the glovebox/console will an NOS trunk lock & the other two re-keyed is another option...
