    Hello,
    I have a passenger side turn signal lens that i need replaced. I have removed the assembly from the Prius. There is a different kind of screw to pop-out the lens. Anybody know if they just sell the lens? If so what kind of screw driver do i need? It looks like a star with a stem in the middle. I only see parts for the whole assembly.
    any ideas?

    Sounds like you are dealing with security or tamper proof torx screws. It's the one on the far left of the image pluggo posted above. The bits are fairly easy to get.

    The lens isn't sold separately anyway, so I wouldn't bother hunting down the tool to take it apart unless you want to do it for fun.
