what type of screw attaches tailight body?

I've been trying to find 4 screws that are used to attach our tail light housing to the rear. (2 screws that are inside the tail light on each end) Each taillight uses 2 screws.

I've tried to find this from our host.... with no luck. (They keep wanting to send me the screws for attaching the lens covers)

I've also tried other various sites, one particular located in Atlanta... but still keep getting sent the wrong thing.

Anyone know exactly what the screw is?

Thanks!

Try paramount automotive in NC that's where I found the locking nuts that the screws go in.

Stoddards carries the screws as well as the hard to find captive nuts.

Same threads as the screws for the sheet metal around engine, about 13 mm long

The thread pitch of the sheetmetal screws is 6X1.0.
