I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and I was going to replace the passenger side rear tial light but when I went to do so the socket set that I have which has standard and metric sizes did not fit the bolt. Does anyone know what size socket will work on the bolt? ANy help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a memory of Jeep having one of those 6.5 mm I think it is sockets needed someplace? I know I have one and I know I have done a taillight. I am going to remove a couple more tomorrow or in the next couple days and will check...
