HID back cover removal help

Hey guys,

I'm trying to remove the back plastic cover for the HID bulb. The problem is the screw; I have no idea what tool is needed to remove that screw. I've tried Allen, flat head, Phillips, and even plyers. Is there a special tool for this that Acura only has or something? Thanks in advance.

ITs a special torx screw with a hole in the middle...

But i got mine open by using a small eye glasses type flat head screwdriver. It fits in the edge well and easy to untighten and tighten up again.

You need the torx security bit.

Griot's Garage has a nice security bit set for $20. I have it... very handy.
