HID screws for gen 1 housings

[anryu451]

Anyone know the diameter, thread, and depth needed for the screws that go into the gen1 housings?

M3X10mm
Assuming the ones to hold in the hid bulb
That length is using dlf adapter rings.

I used these 6-32x1/2 self Tappers with washers they are a tiny bit bigger but fit nice after carefully screwing them in and not breaking plastic

What pitch? What width?

I don't know about everyone else on here but the plastic of the housings on mine was very brittle, the original screws took most of the threads when they came out, so I used a hand drill, opened up the holes. Then I used a tap, found the matching screws, and used jb weld in the holes then when it dried I could run the screws in and out and tighten them unlike when I had just tapped the plastic itself. A few of my screw hole bosses broke, and I had to jb weld them back together, but it turned out well.
