Screw Size? Heretic Light Pod wire terminal

[Gluestick]

I had a butterfingers moment and dropped the small terminal screw that goes through the pos/neg wire ring end and into the light pod.

I was really slick and then dropped the other one. Now I have nothing to match. The two tiny Phillips head stainless threaded screws are lost to the abyss.

does anyone know the size for these little screws?

Happened to me, too! I can't tell you the size. I simply took the light (it was the 4-LED ditch light) into a well-equipped hardware store that has a wall of open bins, and tried different tiny screws until I found what fits.

Two ironies: 1) What I found needed a very tiny hex driver, not a philips head. Fortnately, I have a complete sex with one which fit. 2) Just the other day--maybe 5 or 6 weeks after? -- I found the missing screw!

A related matter. I use a carwash with brushes, and go through fairly often on a monthly subscription plan. I've tried cranking down the ditch lights good and tight, and even put in a lock washer, and after about four carwash passes, the brushes alwlays knocks one or both of the ditchlights askew. Let me know if you have similar problems. I think I'll try LotTite.
