Replacement Fastener for Headlights
Currently in the process of replacing the headlight lens on my 06; first headlight replaced no problem. However the second headlight I encountered a lot of problems getting the 3 small torx studs out and ended up destroying them in the process of finally separating the bezel from the headlight.
Anybody have a similar issue and any good replacement fasteners identified that work? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Changing my lenses as we speak, and yes all 3 on each light just spun when I tried to remove them.
Once I separated the lens from the body I replaced those studs w/ some 8/32" X 3/8 Sheetmetal screws and they worked like a charm.
