Where to find headlamp trim ring screws?

I need the screws the hold the trim ring around the headlight. I saw the other post about allens screws. Anyone know what size they are? From the trip to the hardware store they're bigger than #6 but < #8.

Go to an auto junk yard near you. Screws are usually chrome plated and cleaning with a fine steel wool will make them like new.

OPGI.com and others have screw kits. Here is a link to one page. There are others.

Fusick, The Parts Place, Year One, OPG... everyone sells them as they were the same for years. As Retro mentioned I think I still see them in the HELP section at your better parts houses like a local NAPA. They are rather specific in their design so a hardware store full of chineasium hardware isnt the best choice to try to find a "will-fit". A bone yard with cars old enough to still have the round headlights will have them but they can be rusted in pretty good. Best bet is new.
