[DeTomaso] 5.5mm bolt head for headlight switches

If you ever need to remove one of the switches, the screws are M3 and take a 5.5mm wrench, but 7/32 is almost exact.  I had to pull the top/front switch to get the motor, gears, etc. plate out, and it's a pain if you don't know the odd wrench size.  A good hardware store (and McMaster has stainless) has M3 socket heads screws that should make future work easier.  The original screws look like M3-25.
 
I found a starting crack in the plastic gear which will be replaced.
