Default 94 headlight switch removal

Ok... Did a search and found a lot for early c4s but nothing for the later models. Trying to remove the headlight switch but can't seem to find a socket to fit the two screws holding it in... Tried 7mm and 8 mm, 1/4" 9/32 and 7/32 none seem to work. What size are those 2 screws??

7 mm worked but I had to really put some muscle into it. It's like the sockets were all too thick to get in between the hex head and the side of the switch. Once I got them out I checked and they are 7mm. Guess I just need some sort of thin wall socket.

Got the headlight assy unbolted, but having hell of a time getting the two connectors of off the back. Anyone recall how they got these off without breaking them?
