you are correct, 3 10mm nuts on each tail, plug and play.

Her originals were cracked. honestly, the hardest part will be getting the bulbs in and out of the tails themselves. (i had a hard time, big hands/idk what) -------------------- Kawi Love |

becareful, the nuts are small....they look kinda like shiney cherios....so dont eat them!
lol its always good to ask. no question is "stupid" no matter what anyone says, if u have a question, then its always good to ask/double check so u dont break something. good luck. if u need anything while doing it, call me.
