read the DIY for bulb replacement on the 2g tl but still have a question. How do you remove the tork screw on the plastic housing?

my tork screwdriver bits wont fit all the way down in the star shaped hole because of this lil piece of raised metal in the center of the screw hole. both sides are like that. Almost like a special tork screwdriver is needed. wtf

 

you gotta find the torq screw head with a hole in the center

 

i bought one at my local NAPA auto store...u could also find one at Sears or some major tool place...

 

its called a Torx #20 SECURITY tip

thats got the right fitting- any parts place, harbor freight etc will carry them in a small set or single as needed

 

the other option is use a dremel to turn them into flat blade fittings!
No one tries to steal the bulb, they take the entire housing anyway~

 

cool, thanks fellas!!! off to the autoparts store it is!!!!

..you don't even need that #20 torx bit tool. You can use needle-nose pliers to get it off.

if you don't have torx #20, then use a pair of pliers to remove it. very easy to remove it, it is just a screw in plastic, then find any screw that fits to replace it. you actually don't have to use one, if you don't want to; it is there for safety, and more likely the cap wont come loose by itself.
