Headlight Mounting Bolt Size

Searched and couldn't find the answer. Can anyone tell me what size the bolts that hold the headlight assembly to the body of the car? Thanks!

On a firebird or camaro? On a firebird I believe all four are 10mm. There are 2 bolts on top and two you need to get from the bottom with an extension. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Headlight Mounting Bolt Size

Anybody have a part number? The head on a Lowe's bolt was too small for the housing of the headlight, and I'd rather have OEM over just putting a big washer on it.

Try NAPA or O'reilly's rather than Lowe's. Doubt that you will find part numbers for bolts and such
