Correct screws for rear sport bumper license plate lamp mount? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

They might be the same screws as for the lens itself, shown below. Can't speak for color though, seems those would be stainless or black phosphate.

The lens' screws do tighten the bracket down, screws inserted from below. Perhaps the lamp assembly screws included a spin washer, can't say, that's why I'm asking

Appreciate any input, thanks.

Unless corrected, I think I'll just order #8-32 truss head machine screws to mount the lamp. Think I prefer a phillips truss heads over a pan heads, they cover the holes in the bracket more better.

OT, looking at machine screw tip variances, seems the screw tips in the OP for lens screws, and perhaps to mount the unit as well are type-b. That or dog point, like the rear lens screws pictured.
