hi all,
i wonder if anyone could tell me the diameter of the chrome bumper bolts?
I am attempting to source some LED holders of a similar diameter to replace my rusted chrome bolts and hold bulbs for an inconspicuus revearsing light
cheers,
Matt

Re: chrome bumper bolts.
i was not going to simply rely on them all being LED holders, but replace two of them only. Should have made that clearer :-p -- do you know the diameter of the hole?

Re: chrome bumper bolts.
The smaller holes are 3/8" diameter with flats 5/16" across. A max 8mm diameter barrel with a min 10mm diameter flange would fit and cover the hole without alteration. Or a 10mm drill or bigger increases your options! 
Or a chrome washer if you go smaller...

Re: chrome bumper bolts.
Don't think you will get enough light out of 2 single LEDs.
I have similar on another vehicle as number plate lamps and I certainly couldn't reverse by them at night.
