I got 2 used headlight assemblys from US but no screws. What type scres do i need to fasten thie headlights...Preferably in mm if possible :-). Im Norwegian
If you are talking about the screws that retain the headlight surround bezels, I am pretty sure they are 8 x5/8". And, I believe this would be 4.166mm x 15.875mm long.

Thanks! I will try to get these at the local hardware store... Mostly we use mm so we will see... If not i may have to order these from us as well 😅
The ones that attach the lenses to the bracket? The ones that attach the brackets to the car itself? The screws that hold the plastic bezel to the headlight lid?

Can you post a photo of what you've got?
I bought complete full assembly headlights since the car had some LeMans headlights. So its the screws that attatche the metal frame to the chassy of the car. Main screws. The rest came complete.
My car is pewter but now i got one white and one dark red met 😍. For me this era cars with pop up lights are a gone era of cool 😎
Ahhh okay. I was going to say, I have a complete assembly that I could take apart and find out what they need for any of those areas.
For the ones from the lights to the body, I had to buy those too.... I forget what i got though. Sorry!
No problem! I ended up paying 700$ pluss vat and shipping... Not cheap but worth it. I did have a complete set available for 350$ but i felt it culd be a scam so i bailed 😅. But it culd have been legit. He did take a pic holding a paper with his name and date... But scmmers today go to lengths to get that money 😅
OK...I am concerned I may have given you incorrect information. I thought you were referring to attaching the bezel to the headlight frame. The information for that I believe to be correct. See photo; bezel circled in blue
If you are talking about the screws headlight mounting bracket (see photo; screws circled in red), then those screws are GM part # 11508561 [4.2 X 1.41 X 20]. These screws were also used on GM instrument panels from 1990-2005 so they should be fairly easy to find.
If this is still not the screw location please post a photo, as Stingroo suggested, and I am sure someone here can help you find it.
I think at least one of those is a stud that needs a nut. It's been awhile, though.
I will try to install them on thursday. I did have a C5 coupe in Philippines when i lived there but never took out the headlights. But im shure you are correct!
