Default HID Bulb replacing/swapping

Okay, so i did some research... and found some info.

People have been saying a bit of conflicting things about the tools needed to properly swap out a HID bulb... these are what i'm confused about:

-(4mm Torx bit with the hole in the middle... could be either of the below?)
-Tamper-resistance Torx Bit
-T25 Tamper proof Torx Bit
-and the tool on
http://www.acetoolonline.com/Bondhus-12638...

Kinda confused since they come in different sizes and look sort of different (least to my untrained eye)

So which one is needed to swap a MY06 HID? And anyone have some good pics or a DIY on it? There's none on any s2k sites i've been to, heh.

Thanks!

Edit:: Well one thing's clear. The T25 Tamper proof Torx bit is for 00-01, but i'm not sure if that changed over the years? Remember, mine is MY06

One last try i guess before I try the trial and error method by buying the T25 Tamperproof Torx bit and trying it out.

Anyone know if the T25 will work on MY06?
