Anyone know where to get black Torx screws, specifically the smaller of the two that go on the mirror hardware mounts? Somehow one of mine is slightly larger than the other in the Torx head and I want to replace it.

I just installed my ditch lights and wasn’t able to get one of the two back in completely, sounds like we both had the same issue. I stopped trying to tighten it down so not possibly ruin the threads in the stud. Just going to buy another screw and try again. I saw some on eBay but they aren’t black. My dealership is open but parts isn’t so I have to wait until Monday I guess.The outer ones I want to say are a smaller head that they don’t give you in the kit. I ran into this when I installed my ditch lights. Annoying as F if you ask me. Why they are not the same size that they include is behind me.
No threads aren’t smaller but apparently I had the wrong Torx bit that caused my issue.Wait your threads are smaller? Mine just the ford head was smaller and they are forever long. Mine tightened fine just found it odd they have two different head sizes.
Great resource but I’m clearly not that smart so how do I find the correct screw?Mc Master-Carr is a good source for any fasteners.

Open the page and look at the left. Tell it the thread size, and the length you are looking for along with the drive size. If you don't know those, take one of yours to the local hardware store and ask them to identify the thread size for you. You can measure the length. Once you get that far you can even specify the head diameter and the type of head you want.Great resource but I’m clearly not that smart so how do I find the correct screw?
