Envoy headlight question

K Dawg ONE · 08-19-2007, 12:58 PM

I tried searching but came up with nothing.
Im trying to remove the HID assembly from the back of my Envoy headlights and cant figure out how to dismantle them from the actual housing. There seems to be 4 or so bolts that look like torx but they have a 'pin' type of thing that stick up in the middle of the torx (almost looks like a 'U'-style bike lock key).
Anyone know how to get these off? Or am I not even looking at the right parts?
Thanks.

they are security bits... so ordinary people don't tamper with them...
readily available at princess auto for around $6-$10 for a complete set...

do yourself a favour, if you need to change the HID, buy an aftermarket kit and fab up a bracket... much cheaper then buying a stock GM HID unit

I paid under $300 for 2 bulbs...

Thanks Goran! Ill hit up princess auto tommorrow after work! They will have a tool for taking them out?
The HID's are good on them, i just want to disconnect them from the housing so they arent in the way when I clear them
