M1008/9 Side Light Removal Torx Tool

[CUCV IRL]

Hi Folks,
I want to remove the front side light lenses from my truck to replace the bulbs behind them.
However, I can't figure out what size torx tool I need to remove the securing screws!! Is it a SAE or metric size? None of the torx tools I have fit and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone tell me the tool I need and where to get it. The joys of owning an American Military vehicle in Ireland/Europe!! I wouldn't have it any other way!

Should be a T15

Get one of the cheap plastic handled sets for about $2 at a flea market or a set of bits at one of the tool barns.

You are lucky torx are torx they are the no metric or sae. When i was traveling in Ireland I bought some tools to take back when I was working in Kuwait. I found most of your general hardware stores carry torx sets or individual torx drivers just ask one of the people behind a counter. It is definately a T-15 I just went out to the truck and checked, and that matches the headlight trim as well. You can also get a security bit set if for some odd reason someone put that type in there. PS I love Ireland and would love to live there if I could afford it. I also know a great place in Cork to get good pizza by the slice and at least it would be easier to get my Jameson.

Agree on Ireland, sorry to hijack the thread... when the time comes, I would love to retire there too. Laid back, relaxed... peaceful...

If either of you guys do move to Ireland, don't forget your T15 Torx bits.
