Headlight bolts

In my long,very long rebuild of my flood project r56 I have lost 3 bolts for the headlights. Any idea of what the size they are so I can get replacements from a local supply place?

Finally getting this project to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel lol

Yep, those brass ones that have the molded square plastic like to stick to the bolt, so i would use some anti seize you you get them apart,.
