side marker screw, what size torx?

I've read up on it, I have the screw, and all I read is that it takes a small torx bit. Well they come in a variety of sizes, what size do I need? Thanks..

my sidemarker came out with just a flat head screwdriver to take out the plastic retainer pins.. then the lens just popped out by hand.

Ours did not have Torx screw , but Home Depot sells a Torx set with multi- size tips for about $5. Good to have in the tool box for later.
Maybe a member will give you exact size and you can confirm it is in the set.
Also use masking tape on the fender edge so you don't accidently scratch when working on fender insert.
Better safe than sorry .

Thanks for the tip, I was able to get it off with a 7/16" allen.

Pain in the ass..
