Since you're going to replace them all why not invest in some tamper resistant ones? Might save your lights going walkies on some dark night :wink:

12 screws is spot on; 4 in each side for rear lights and 2 in each indicator.

Not an allen key exacly, and since the photo does not show the screw heads I'm assuming they do not want Joe Public to see the actual head and acquire the appropriate tool. Deters 'opportunists' rather than the really determined thief who leaves home with a full tool kit.

PM me if you want more detail :wink:
