Default for the 3 bolts holding the light in? it's larger, like a t30 IIRC and
it's not tamper proof. at least in my 98.5 they weren't.

Default Far as I know, yes. The two nuts on top are Torx.
Not sure if they are "Tamper Proof" however.

Default You only need a tamper proof if you're removing the ballast from the housing.
Regular Torx are for removing the housing from the car. Good luck.
