I just got my led brake lights in these http://www.ebay.com/itm/121162338216
And I couldn't get the 2 screws to catch, then I realized there isn't any metal bracket for the screws to catch like the stocks ones. So I had to take them off the stocks ones and put it on these. What gives? Did I get screwed or is was like that for you guys? Thanks!

When I had a set of them...I had to pull the metal clips off the stockers and put them on the new tails...that is how they come...so you didn't get :hump:

You got screwed out of $1 worth of parts. I did not have this problem but I also purchased different lights.

lmao thanks for the reply bro. i have 1 more problem. the trucks park/brake harness is a bit short to reach to the top of the led brake socket. i guess i need to cut the wires and add about 4 more inches to it. bummer. the other side fit fine. but other then that they look amazing.

You May be able to free up some wire underneath the truck where the wires are routed, mine had extra slack

I had the same issue when I bought mine. Mine reached but just barely because the turn and running lights are in different spots. If you can, I'd suggest soldering to lengthen the wires instead of wire nuts or splicing clips. Probably won't make a lot of difference except it'll be more secure.
