Needed to replace the bulbs in my rear license plate lights. And like many others stripped the head of the screws, despite being extra careful.
Pulled the stripped screw out with a screw extractor kit.
Stealerships don't sell the individual screw but will gladly sell you a replacement lens that comes with said screw for $15-$20.
If your lens are intact and need to replace the screws, you need M3 x 10 mm screws. Only cost 15 cents a piece.

Thanks - I need to pick a couple of these up, once I get the stripped one out of the left side... Tried a screw extractor, but without much luck - next step is to drill it out???

A drill press is recommended, to be able to control the drill, and avoid damaging threads. If that happens, then a thread insert will fix the casting. I recommend using Stainless Steel hex socket button head screws as replacements, installed using some grease on the threads to prevent future corrosion problems.
