| Does anybody know what size the screws are in the snow flake tail light bulb holders that the wiring goes into. Mine are missing, thanks in advance. |

Not right off the top of our heads.
Any decent hardware store that has that fastener aisle, should have those thread gauge or at worst try several sizes and threads out of the metric section screws.
