    Orrrrrr, I could pay half that and get the appropriate size screw with a torx head and never worry about them again.

    I'm assuming the stock ones are in there for comparison. I should have been clearer and said correct thread. Machine screws have too fine of a thread.

    I need these, would love the ones with the torx head but being from Canada I'm probably going to pay more for shipping than the order itself.

    Dalmation, it does read like you're trying to sell it for ten bucks.

    I guess that's why everyone was piling on you. Stay wacky

    i kinda feel bad for you cause it seems like you made the thread in good faith; to help someone out, and have gotten beat up over it.

    on the other hand, if you wanna let your dog eat screws then ill let the wolves keep coming at you

    This thread is about screws for the plate lights.

    I actually use triple square screws for my plate. If someone steals it, I know they work on VAG cars.

    I use hex for my bolts. It's like car theft if you make it harder they will just move on to an easier target. If there are other cars on the street with Phillips or flat head screws they would have to really want my plates to steal them.

    I thought it would be better to bring this back than make a new thread. Anyone in Canada that has gotten replacement screws can you give me info like where, what kind of screws did you ask for? I struck out at Fastenal so my next stop is to try Brafasco but I'm not having an easy time getting replacements. I'd like to get the torx head ideally but I'm open to anything better than the stupid OEM screws.
