Rear tail light bolts
 
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and I was going to replace the passenger
side rear tial light but when I went to do so the socket set that I
have which has standard and metric sizes did not fit the bolt. Does
anyone know what size socket will work on the bolt?
ANy help will be greatly appreciated.

Usually it's a Phillips screwdriver:

But yours is probably a torx:

Re: Rear tail light bolts
 
Bill, it's actually a trick to get a bolt head, that you can get a
reasonable amount of torque on, made out of cheap ass metal. That is my
analysis anyway, and my pre-German Wrangler has them too.

Re: Rear tail light bolts
 
I have a memory of Jeep having one of those 6.5 mm I think it is sockets
needed someplace? I know I have one and I know I have done a taillight.
I am going to remove a couple more tomorrow or in the next couple days
and will check...
