Facelift rear centre brake light

Does anyone know what size nuts are used on the rear centre high level brake light? I managed to lose one of the three into the depths of the boot lid early when I took it off to clean and polish the boot lid.

Update.

Its had the smoke test and there was a leak on the crank case valve. This is getting replaced tomorrow by the dealer and then its off out for a test drive, hopefully in the traffic conditions that I've told then several times it occurs in.

They checked the lamda sensors yesterday and they were fine. Its having the smoke test done later this morning. If that draws a blank, I will go down the crank case valve and second hand MAF route myself. Again, thanks for the advice.

I need a new aerial gromet, both the part that sits on top of the wing and the part underneath.

I also need a new rear bootlid brake light seal.
