Torx 20 will not do the job. Its a 10 star with thats hollow in the middle. I had to buy a complete set for like $10 bucks at kragen just to get the torx.

It's not a standard Torx head, it is a Security Torx head

as said- Torx `Security` Bit #20
any small set of torx bits should have it included- a pretty standard tool
in headlight mounting-especially gm cars
They did build these in america and may have used some transfer technology/parts off the locals~

the other option is use a dremel tool to cut a straight line for a screwdriver
If someone wants your bulbs-they take the whole headlight housing, its faster
