Default Torx is a type of screw, with a star based pattern...

'Torx' is the name of the star screw type (see pic) just like 'Phillips' is used for a screw with a cross pattern.

So you'll need a Torx bit or Torx screwdriver in the correct size. Dunno what size, check forum or just open the hood...there are 2 torx screws on top of the headlights you can use as a reference, can't miss em. Just try to find the correct size (T20 or T30 probably). Should be available at every hardware store.

Default Its best to go ahead and get the Security Torx, they work on both types....

especially if you have Xenons and plan to upgrade to euro-lights.
