No bolt threads on the Valenti Style Reverse lights?

[autograph]

I bought the following reverse light: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Valenti-Sty...tion-a/617.htm

the instructions say to install the reverse light just like you uninstalled the stock reverse light. on top of the stock reverse light, there are two bolts. However, when I went to put the bolts into the new reverse light, nothing was catching -- as if there is no thread-hole at all. All that is holding it currently are the two side plastic screws and the plastic clip on the middle/bottom. Not sure if this is safe. Anyone with these reverse lights care to input?

Thanks!

If I remember correctly I pulled the factory metal tabs off of my stock 3rd break light and slid them onto the Valenti ones so you could use the bolts up top

Mine bolted directly in (different vendor though)

thanks guys -- im going to try what dubbrand mentioned tomorrow. we'll see how it works out

Update: I did what dubbrand did; used flat head to take the metal tabs off the stock reverse light and just clipped / bent them onto the aftermarket reverse light. worked like a charm!
