GM "TORX" screws for headlights

AFAIK, no one provides the Torx screw driver for headlamp replacement (well, maybe there's one sitting in the toolkit on a M-B 500 series (as if the driver of one of those would know what to do with tools)).

Commonly available at most hardware stores, just grab one and throw it in your tool kit. Might look for one that has the full range of sizes and magnetic, interchangeable bits.

Invest in a Torx set, the headlights are not the only place you will need them for.

When you buy the bits, note that there are two kinds. The "secure" Torx have a small depression in the center of the bit which fits onto a "dimple" in the screw. The regular Torx screw lacks that dimple.

Life is easier if you keep them separate. For the headlight job you shouldn't need the 'secure' bits.

If you can, avoid buying Chinese copies. I picked up a set of Chinese bits and found the hex shafts were slightly different from either U.S. or metric measure -- wasted time filing them down to fit a standard socket.

Again this is not meant in a disrespectful way...

BTW I would buy another set of the BF Goodrich tires (had them on my
