Finally installing LED headlights and of course all the screws and adjustments were rusted and stripped. Decided to buy the entire headlight assembly. Question is the posts that mount to the Jeep don't have nuts with them, am I supposed to use the old nuts? I am sure they might strip when taking them off. I would rather install new ones to the mounting post but have no idea what size they are. Tried to google everything but can find no mention of them.
Thanks for any help.

use the old nuts. if you need new nuts go to a hardware store with the headlight bucket and get the correct nuts.. it ain't that complicated

I have reused the headlight hardware with no issue. Or find some new nuts that work at a hardware store.

Hopefully you have a decent Ace Hardware nearby. If you go that route, get 8 nuts. That way, if/ when you lose or damage one, (it ALWAYS happens to me if I only get what I need. If I get more, things go perfectly and I have leftover hardware), you can still finish the project.
