Default C5 console lid screws

I know this is an off the wall question, but what size and type of screws are used on the console lid? I had my car apart for a long time and after putting it back together, those screws were the only one's I couldn't find! I know that they are very short...

I believe their #8 x 1/2 but they can come in just about any length, but their Black Oxide finish.

Yes they can be any length but you are limited to how long they are because you can snap off the plastic they go into if they are too long
I figured they were 1/2" but I was wondering about the thread as well

Parts manual, parts manual, parts manual.
It’s available on the forum as a pdf download and shows most — though admittedly not all — the parts we generally need. In this case it shows GM 11515893 as the SCREW—ROUNDWASHER M4.2X1.4X13 8.63OD, 6010M, 6138M, C/R, TAP, that holds the lid to the console.
