Little fasteners for Foglight Grill screws.

Does anyone know where I can find little fasteners, which enables screws to tighten fog light grills on bumper?
Fog light grills cannot be securely tightened without them. There are four fasteners for each grill.
The car is f73 and fog lights are rounded shape.
Thank you for your advise.

Take one of the screws with you to your local hardware store. (You can even buy non-metric screws as long as they fit correctly. But don't tell us! )

Look through the "fasteners" aisles for something called "U-speed nuts". Get ones that fit the screws.

"Speed nuts" are the flat-piece-of-metal with an H-shaped hole through it that are used to hold some non-critical things in place. (Like the engine grille letters.) U-speed nuts are the same thing, but the metal is bent in a U shape.

You slide the U part of the nuts onto the little diagonals at the edge of the foglight opening, and you should be able to attach the grille with the screws.

Try Lowe's, they have a large and well-organized selection of these fasteners.
