Had the same set on my 03. You don't need to by a new set. Take the stock screw and go to a local hardware store, find some non flexible plastic tube that will accept the diameter of the screw you have, cut tube 1 1/4 inch to act as spacers and purchase the same thread and diameter screw just 1 1/4 inch longer. 8 longer screws and less than a foot of tubing with a little fabrication and your done, total cost probably $2.50 not $250.00.

Ditto on fabbing up some spacers, and I checked the screws out and they are 2" long, and the same diameter (of course) as the ones in there holding on the lights. Good luck!

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going with the DIY route! $2.50 versus $250...sold! haha. I'll let you guys know how it goes and will post some pics of the finished product. Have a good weekend!
