Well with four of these things and one that was good enough to use I really only needed to fix one.

I choose to go after the broken stud instead of the missing tab. Instead of drilling I found a way to hold the shell and drive the broken stud out. I used vice grips to hold a combination wrench solid, and set the shell over the box end of the wrench with the back side of the stud in the box. It took some solid wacks but wasn't hard.

I screwed a couple nuts (to protect the threads) on a good stud on one of the tabless shells and drove that stud out and used it to make one more good bullet. I just held it in place with one finger until the nut was tight enough to hold it in place.

So now I have two bullet lights mounted on my Suburban and two that still need repair.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
