This is the place to go:

If you own a 356, you have to join up. Cheap, easy, cool magazine and more tech information than you ever need. Just no "forum" for some ol' skool reason. Too bad . . .

Hello All, I checked out the 356 site and could not find the info I need. Any other help would be great.
Thanks again Ron

If I recall, it is, most likely 4 mm hardware needed. Maybe 4 mm for the trim ring and 5 mm for the two mounting screws. You just need to look at one to see. No big deal here. They are held in place with regular screws, lock washers and nuts. No science to it. I have some in the garage I can look at, but seriously, it is not complicated. I forget, the hole size in the body for the bulb holder to stick throw. But using a caliper, it would take just a scant few seconds to figger it out.

Am I missing something here?
