yes, it's me, with yet another headlight inquiry (i swear i will make these things work if it kills me!!)

i got the left light to roll over and latch both open and closed. upon installing the right bucket, i found that 2 of the 3 8mm head bolts are broken off in the holes. i need to know what size the bolts are so that i can tap them out, and what size drill bit to use. if it were standard (american or SAE) i could tell you just about every combination, but i am relatively new to the metric scene, and need some help.

again, i appreciate any help given.
