Good afternoon,
I need a T24 Torx bit to remove the taillight assembly on my 2005 997.1. I've looked everywhere and can't find one. Can anyone help, Please.

I'm not sure if this helps at all, but for odd-job tools:

I occasionally go to a local fire station (big one, with lots of toys), and give them a couple boxes of ice cream sandwiches to borrow a tool or two. And then return it quickly.

Good luck with your search.

I'm sure I have one but it's a screwdriver not a bit. Check your local auto parts or even Home Depot.

would a t25 work?

Pretty sure a 997 never used a T24 (does that even exist?) on the car..

It's prob a T20 or T25. Did you try those?

THANKS FOR THE FIRE STATION IDEA,
AUTO PARTS STORE AND HOME DEPOT DON'T CARRY THEM
T25 DOESN'T WORK
T20 DOESN'T WORK
VIDEO SAYS TO USE A T24?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES

Not sure which video said T24 (not even sure if it exists). But when I swapped to LED tail lights on my 05 997, I used a T20.
Here's another video that goes into the details:

You could always get Medieval on it..... touch the top with a Dremel disc cutter and cut a small shallow slot, use a flathead screwdriver. Those screws are usually not very tight in the plastic parts.

THANKS ALL.
BRUCE, THATS THE VIDEO I WATCHED AND THOUGHT HE SAID A T24, WHAT HE REALLY SAID WAS A T20 TORX.
THANKS EVERYONE

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID, GOD BLESS MY DREMEL.
THANKS AGAIN

So you never got a chance to use your T20?

okbarnett

Im sure a 20 or 25 would work, you probably have a stripped out head

To correct some infirmation, the two torx are t25, not t20. You dont need to remove them to remove the tail light for servicing. You can remove just the center Phillips head screw.

On my 997.1 the two torx bolts needed a T20 screwdriver.
