Default MY99 fog light bolts

Does anybody Know the size of these bolts?

I will be replacing the covers soon and it looks like both bolts have seized so i'm gonna have to dremmel/drill them out, want to replace them with some allen key bolts instead.

Has anybody had this problem before, if so how did you sort it?

Thanks

Can't help I'm afraid, but am replying as I'd be interested in how it turns out.
A couple of my bolts sheared off, so I'm looking to sort that.

Replaced all mine with standard stainless bolts from the local bolt and nut stockist, (www.yell.com), when I had the car nearly new.

Since replaced two off each side with stainless security bolts of two different sorts. to protect my driving lights.

IIRC, the bolts are M8 x 30

Sorry to confuse things, but I'm 99% sure they're M6 bolts and not M8.
