Dude, you dont need Torx screws to take out your angel eyes... Unless you wanted to unplug the headlight? then you will need it..
Go to home depot or sears. =)

True Mike, but if he has big hands (like me), I found it waaaay easier to just unscrew the headlights to get the AE bulb in. I didn't unplug it though just pulled it out enough to get my hands in there.

It is MUCH easier to do it with the headlight out, just remember not to unplug the headlight (especially if you have adaptive headlights).
Here are the steps:
1) open hood
2) remove seal over the grilles - this just pops up when you pull up.
3) remove grille screws - torx ones
4) remove the 2 torx on the top side of the headlights
5) loosen, but DO NOT remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the headlight
6) pull the headlight up and out
