What size nut driver to use??

Guys, when pulling the front cover off the cluster, it's held on by those torx head screws. But once you get that off, the plastic clear sheet over the gagues is held on by real small hex head capscrews. What size nut driver for those? 5mm? 4mm? Thanks!!

Forgive this obvious way of looking at things... but why don't you do what I do:

1) Try driver
2) If it fits - voila! If not, repeat step 1.

Because I don't have one that small. I want to know what I need to go out and buy. Every one I have is too big.

Thanks, but since 6mm was too big, it's gotta be smaller than that. I've been told it's 5.5mm.

I've never seen half sized metric sockets. If a 6 mm is to large and a 5 mm is to small then try an SAE socket.

There is a 5.5 mm socket, but i don't think that's it. Let me go into my garage and check out my socket rails and my spare cluster real quick.
