Lightbulb Studs...

Depends on which bolt pattern you ordered. GM style 5 on 4 3/4 will be 7/16 studs, where the Ford 5 on 4.5 will be a 1/2" stud.

Maybe it's a story of another one bites the dust, hopefully not. I just tried for fun and the search just brings you back full circle.

Hopefully they're maybe just closed a couple weeks for the holidays. They make a great product, and have for a long time. I'd hate to lose them.

I just ordered parts last week and half the order has shown up so far. I did call and leave a message about the missing parts and have not heard back yet.
