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.

Re: Rear tail light bolts
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 *** 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...
