Ebay has whole sets quite cheap. Ace hardware/Lowes/Home Despot all have them.

Default Sears carries a variety of tamper-proof screwdriver bits

I bought this, and it works great. Costs $24.95

They also carry a 6-piece bit set for $9.99, which is nice if you already have a screwdriver. MarkP has this featured on his headlight install page as well.
