Im hoping a generous forum member lend me a tamperprof torx20 bit please. Im wanting to swap my front indicators and i cant get the headlights out because some spoon bender has used these screws instead of the bolts that were there originally

£1.49 including postage gets you 2 T-20 bits that will fit into a 1/4 inch socket:

You must be able to use vice grips/pliers/drill/hacksaw to get them off. Youll be fitting the proper ones again anyway I presume.

I'm confused, That's nice a male torx bit. Go to Halfords and buy one.. Hell go to tesco and buy a cheap screw driver set, they have them in.. (mine did)

Tbh on a screw that size the pin in the middle will snap off out the way a piece of piss and then find a small flat head that will fit across two of the points (surely you have a naff flat head you can file/grind down a bit to make it fit??
I'll still send you this one if you like though.

snap of the pin and try a hex bit of similar size if its not over tight it may undo or as martin says use a small flat head bit and tap that into the bolt head
