Lower headlight bolts

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

The bolts that hold the bottom of the headlights... standard size - ie can I grab a pair from the local fittings place?

Failing that  anyone got a pair to post ASAP? Not for me... I have slightly bigger things to think about....

8mm hex head, with a integrated washer and a 20mm coarse self tapping thread iirc.

That's a BIG thread just to hold a headlight


Did you mean 20mm long?

[Doctor Gollum]

Indeed I do. 

A 20mm diameter bolt with an 8mm head would be somewhat unusual

But not impossible on a German car.

Yeah, just to make sure you round it off when you come to undo it.
