Default Head Light Bezel

I am looking for the correct flat head Phillips screws for the headlight bezel's

Do you mean these?

Paragon has them.

The ones to the left look similar although they are suppose to be cadmium or zinc plated per the NCRS 1966 Technical Manual page 73 top.

Thank you for your suggestion.

If you want the screws that hold the cover to the front of the headlight bucket, these are the correct screws. Two are silver color plated (the uppers) and two are black phosphate (the lowers) on each cover. And the same answer applies on the TDB as here.

You may just want to rotate the buckets with the thumbwheel that first time to make SURE the heads on the screws are correct and they are tightened enough. Screw that up and you'll gouge a nice semi-circle in the nose of your car. Do NOT ask me how I know!
