hi there, i've got 2 xenon headlamps for a retrofit, i've got 2 ballasts but not the screws that hold the ballasts onto the bottom of the headlamps, can anyone tell me are they just normal metal screws or special screws. as its an electrical matter i thought it best to ask before i do something incorrect.........

please advise

You can use any screws made for plastic however these are probably around $0.20 at the dealer for the originals so you might as well get the right ones. If you use screws that are two big you will split the plastic barrel.
