Anyone know where to get a replacement Torx screw

I was changing a burnt out fog light bulb, and as I removed the fog light grille, somehow I managed to lose one of the Torx screws for the grille. Judging by the size, it appears to be a #6, between 3/4" to 1".

Anyone know where I can get a replacement screw? Do dealerships sell individual screws?

I would call my dealership but I'm in a conference all day and have no opportunity to call them. And I don't have the patience to wait until tomorrow. LOL.

Dealership would be the easiest honestly...torx are hard to find the exact one you need with the same threads, and torx size

Thanks all. I'll try the dealership tomorrow and see if they'll give me one for free.

It's very easy. I posted a DIY write up on this about a couple of years ago. You need an H7 bulb.
