Stainless Steels bolts
Hello,
One of my headlights blew out a while ago, so I took the opportunity to cleanup the lens at the same time. So I removed the headlights and gave them a good polish. The issue I had, is that I broke several bolts during removing the headlights.
I want to replace the bolts with stainless steel bolts so I don't have the issue again, does anyone have any idea where is the best place to get bolts that will fit?

I doubt motor factors (and we're taking ECP and GSF mainly) would stock S/S fixings.
If you don't mind having to cut bolts down, then Screwfix and Toolstation do stock SOME sizes, but frankly, I'd go online for the best choice of sizes and types - for instance I always prefer flanged nuts n bolts - you'll only get those online. Kays Fasteners * stock a good range I've bought from so can recommend.
Bolt Base * is another I've bought S/S fixings from, also good..
I'd recommend buying flanged nuts n bolts everytime as oem fixings tend to be that type.
*both are ebay sellers, btw.

Look on Yell.com for bolt and nut stockist.
I have replaced quite a few low torque bolts and screws on my 98 car with stainless for a few pence each, locally.
Flanged bolts or obscure ones have come off eBay.
