Just look through the "drawers" at Lowe's or Home Depot.

The only trick is to NOT sink them in too deeply. they distort if you put them in too far. You will get the hang of it quickly.

Good Luck

Yep, you're right #4/6 are the ones for the taillights...

I bought a bunch of #8/10s to use for the Hatch, Door and under Hood screws. I haven't messed with em yet though, I need to paint em body color after I determine they fit.
