i dropped the nuts a few times aswell. who hasnt??? lol i also dropped the actual light cluster because i thought the screw was thread into the plastic, obviously not because when i went to tightenit thing just fell on the floor and snapped some of the plastic off the edge

they are hard to take off for the first time, ive changed mine about 5 times, and after the second time i only re-fitted them with 2 of the 4 screws.
