I recently purchased the Mopar tail lamp guards and became somewhat puzzled when I began putting them on. In the instuctions it shows to remove the 4 screws holding the lens on, but it shows 2 phillips head screws and 2 torx screws on each side. My tail lights have 4 phillips on each side, no torx?!? I assume the purpose of the Phillips/Torx combo would be to reduce theft, especially if the guards were installed. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one without Torx screws?? Thanks in advance!

 

4 phillips here

 

Here's a pic of the instructions...

 

I can see them doing this to eliminate confusion when changing a blown tail light since when you change the tail light you only need to remove the inboard screws to remove the light housing. I have 4 phillips on mine and it is 07. maybe they are only putting philips on only the inboard on newer years to make it kind of dummy proof for changing bulbs.

 

That could be true. Mine is also an 07. Anybody with a 08 or 09??

 

08 here and all phillips

 

I've got 4 torx on each side. OH- I thought you were talking about the hardtop. All phillips on tailamps- '08 model.

 

I have an 08 I bought the rugged ridge taillight covers and they came with two phillips and two torx head as the replacement screws

 

I have the rugged ridge and it came with 4 phillips for each side.

 

Same here.
