i am planning on having my lights cleared ... thought i heard someone mention before that you needed a torx bit to remove the lights. I cant find the thread anymore but does anyone know what size I need? Thx.

T20 Security Bit aka Torx Bit. Basically it is just a regular T20 Torx bit with the hole in the center. I picked it up from a local hardware store for like a dollar or two.

I did it without the T20. The swiss army knife is a wonderful thing

Or that solution

I can never understand these thing ... its security bit but then you can buy the damn bit right around the corner ... not much security in that.

So a plain T20 will not work? The actual screw has the pin sticking out the middle?

I just take a small flathead screwdriver and work it around. It works for me..

Bxscig

Yeah the little pin sticking out will not allow you to use it. I have no clue what they call it that but I guess it is harder to obtain... not by much though

Can I remove the headlights with just regular screwdrivers?

ResidualFreedom

yes you can you just can't open the headlights ( to clear them or change the HID bulb)

So I need the stupid thing to take the HID bulb out? I am planning on removing the headlights so I can ship them to Mr. to clear... but want to remove the bulb...

Bxscig

Basically, you need the remove the cover to remove the bulb. How ever you want to do it. Remove the headlight THEN remove these items, it'll be a lot easier. And when you reinstall, put all the stuff back on first THEN the headlight.

It's technically called a tamper-proof bit. But you can easily get a pair of needle nose pliers/small vice-grips on the screw head to remove it.
