The fiche leaves a bit to be desired about this but based on THIS link (not all of the #3 shouldered screws, one going into a headlamp mount) ...

... I'm assuming that ALL of the screws which fasten the headlamp to the surrounding "eyelash" are shouldered. Yes?

Here's the lacking headlamp diagram: https://www.bobsbmw.com/store/microfiche...&ImageID=434905

Robin,
Looking at that picture, there also appears to be one each of item 7 screw for that area as well.
Look at the parts fiche and it should list the description of items 3 and 7 as well as how many are required.

Well, I guess I should mention WHY I'm asking.

I only found non-shouldered on disassembly. I maintain that they're supposed to be shouldered as the plastic thickness at the outlet makes sense.

By the way, #7 is what's used to mount the headlights themselves to the fairing stay.
