Headlight nut size?

Hello, I am home for Christmas break, and my car is at school (8hours away).

I am wondering what the size of the three nuts are so i can take the right tools, from home, back to school to install my headlights.

Thank you!

EDIT: I just realized I posted this in the wrong section, my car is a 1st generation MINI.

I'm sure they are metric, but I used a 5/16 nut driver to take mine out.

They're 8 mm, at least on the R50. Just had mine off this morning to complete my my wrapped HL rings install (see pic in gallery).
