Default clip nuts

Took off front fender covers to change my running light lenses. Couple of the clip type nuts missing. Can't seem to find them anywhere or size?
did a search and could not find anything. Anyone come across this??

thanks

I just ordered a bunch from McMaster. Was cheaper (including shipping) than the local parts store (which didn't have them in stock anyway).

Lowe's: take a look a this

They have a lot of different sizes. These are just 3 I randomly chose and put in a table. Prices vary with size, but they are around a dollar for a 4-pack
