Headlight Bolt

Hi

Does anyone happen to know the part number or where I can get this bolt?

Its the one that fixes the pop-up lights to the car, 2 per light.
I have searched, but with no luck.

Cheers

Ceylon.

There's actually 7 bolts that fasten the pop-ups. Can you be more specific, or take a pic?

There is only two of this type, its the two that attach the pop-ups.
Heres a picture - I put a red ring around them to indentify them.

Thanks.

Probably can't find a number 'cause the bolts only come as part of the fibreglass headlight assembly. Without dismantling a smashed unit, length is about 18mm, thread is 6mm - expect there is a shoulder on the bolt to act as a pivot or something else funky happening, because visually, appears like there is a 12mm hex on the bolt, rather than the usual 10mm.

I think that's the same one I lost several years ago. If it's the pivot bolt it has a shoulder on it that acts llike a bushing. I went to a salvage yard and pulled a couple from and FC(I think) which worked perfect. I'd send you an extra if I have one but I see you're across the pond.

Have you tried taking one off and going to a parts or hardware store to see if they have something similar? I have a whole extra set of these and can send one over but the cost to ship it would be way more than one would cost over there, unless you really want to pay to cover that.
