Special Bolt To Open R34 Headlights?

[Jap_Muscle]

ey guys,

i just recieved dan666's 6000k HID replacement globes for the oem r34 xenon headlights.

attempted to open the big circle thing with fins to get access to the globe but i was stumped at a special bolt preventing me from turning the circle cover.

i opened up a friends r34 gtt and i didnt have any issues.

it seems to be a star/flower bolt with a centre block, anyone come across this?

EDIT:: just spoke to the guys at just tools and it seems to be cold a "torx". they dont really sell indivisual heads and a set costs $50 T_T

You should be able to buy a cheap set of torx bits for socket sets at bunnings for cheap.

It's a tamper resistant TORX screw, or a "Torx TR", most hardware shops should sell screwdrivers or socket bits to suit. Regular Torx screwdrivers don't have a hole in the middle, so make sure you get the tamper resistant variety.

edit:

you want one of the top row of this:

its $40something from kinchrome, or you can get the cheaper variety from bunnings for $10 usually.

I've always loved the fact that tools for undoing tamper resistant screws are so readily available and cheap
