TC4RNR · 08-04-2008, 03:34 PM

i know it's a 10mm bolt, but what is the pitch? 1.25, 1.5?

i called Lightforce USA but the guy answered my phone call didn't know it either.

thanks.

Toyota typically uses 1.25mm pitch on a 10mm bolt (and on 8 and 12mm bolts as well).

But if the bolt is part of the light, M10x1.5mm is the most common metric thread pitch used here in the US.

option 1. take the light to the hardware store and see what fits.

option 2. If the light is wired, buy 2 nuts from the hardware store and bring them home.

how hard is that?

well, if i could, i wouldn't ask here. i don't have the lights, yet. so no way i can bring them to a store to try it out. the reason i'm asking is that i and my buddy probably will need totally of 4 anti-theft lock nuts for our lights, it's gonna cost $60+ if we buy the Lightforce ones. i can buy Gorilla Automotive 71611N 10mm x 1.25 wheellocks $17 shipped for a set of 4 but i don't know if it's gonna fit. none of my local autoparts stores carry 10mm wheellocks, minimum 12mm.
