R34 Xenon Bulb Change - Screw Type?

[Suj]

Hi all,

I am trying to change the passenger side xenon bulb which blew recently.

I had no problem changing the drivers side as the screw which holds the black circular cover in place was not there.

On the passengers side however, the screw is still in place and from inspection seems to have a unique looking head type.

Has anyone had to remove this screw before, and if so, how did you do it???

Any help would be much appreciated, need to change the bulb ASAP.

(and yes, I have searched)

Thanks in advance!!

Basically yeah - there's a screw - I couldnt figure out how to undo - it seems like one of those whacky ones (torx i think its called?) - eventually I managed to sorta squeeze it past with a bit of help of a flat-head screwdriver (but it's a real pain to lever it around).

Yep just squeeze past it...jump the head with the plastic lug with a bit of force:)

Its a torx screw, they put it there to stop peolpe like you from changing their own so they can do it and make some $$$$
