Wink Need picture of 2005-07 headlight mounting

Hi, I am swapping the '05-'07 Headlights onto my '99.

I AM installing the '05-'07 Header panel.

Does anyone have a picture or 2 of the mounting hardware that attaches the headlight housings TO the header panel??

I'm trying to make this look 100% factory and not use hardware store fasteners.....

I can't for the life of me find anything online that shows me the correct fasteners........

Thanks Guys!!

Thanks! I have stripped the entire front facia off the truck.
I have the '05-'07 Header panel, headlights, pad, bumper and lower valance panel....
Trying to do this right.........
I DID just find a weird looking clip on the Ford diagrams....looks to be only 1 on each headlight at the center upper position on each light.....
The guys that have done this say to use the original 2 screws that held the parking lights on the '99 for the lower mounting of the headlights....
That leaves the upper/outer of each light w/o a fastener.........
I hate seeing household/hardware store fasteners on vehicles.....
There are companies that manufacture reproduction/correct fasteners for most vintage cars to make them look authentic......
Thanks Again!!

There really isn't any hardware for the headlights. You just go to O'Reilly's or somewhere and buy 4 small nut clips that fit over the header panel. In fact you can probably use the ones off of your 99 header panel that holds the grill on. If you want factory screws they are 5.5 metric heads on them. But you can use whatever. 4 on each headlight.

Thanks. There is a guy that did a video that shows him using common plastic push pins to hold the lights on......that to me seems kinda hinky.......I sure don't want my new factory Ford headlights to rattle when I drive.

Can someone please take a couple of pictures of the TOP mounting fasteners of their lights for me?

Thanks!

That what I was talking about the 5.5 mm screws. You put the clip nuts on the header panel.
