Overtighten Taillight bolts...

Just installed new Valenti Revos and I may have overtightened one of the bolts and it screwed out of the tallight... Dont have any pics, the bolt is still firmly inside the taillight. Should I be concerned?

Easy there, Hulk. You don't need much torque on a 10mm bolt lol.

I bought a set used and all the studs were loose. I wrapped the threads in teflon tape for a bit of added "gription" and all was well.
