headlight bezel screws

[mebe007]

Do all of our cars use the same headlight bezel screws? I need to put bezels back on my 80 regal but don't have the screws

No they don't, some may use the same but not all

Well how in the world do I figure out what I need

i found mine at harbor freight. they sell stainless steel screws they have fillips bit ones and tourx bit ones. i think i got 100 different sizes for 5.00

They are #8 screws so I would just measure to see how long you need and get some ss screws at fastnal or a similar store

yeah i was going to run to fastenal today. i remember them being a t15 torx head. anyone know what the size of the screws that hold the wiper cowl trim on. I think i remember them being a 7mm hex head in stainless.

they screw into a plastic insert so it shouldn't be critical if you don't get metric

the ones for the big stainless trim between the hood and windshield under the wipers? i thought mine go into metal pieces coming off the firewall. 2 of them have the wiper stops that bolt onto them.

my headlight bezel screws look to go right into the header panel fiberglass

on my GP the little plastic inserts go into square holes in the header fiberglass. I have to replace a couple of them cause they are falling out. They are similar but smaller than the licence plate plastic inserts for the bolts.
