Where can I find a T12 Torx bit?
I've checked sears, snapon, harborfrieght, amazon, lowes, homedepot, radio shack etc and I can't find one anywhere. Anyone have a specific source? It's pretty obvious that this is a real oddball size - I have to replace a fog light that cracked... Thanks!

This thread comes up on the first page of a google result for "T12 torx bit" so I wanted to share what I discovered. I had a screw with that wouldn't accept a T15 bit but a T10 would slip. I assumed that there was something between T10 and T15 that I was missing. It turns out that the screw wasn't actually torx at all, it was a "double square". Torx has 6 points, double square has 8. I started searching for double square bits, but turns out that a regular #1 square bit worked fine. There was one built into my 10-in-1 screwdriver. Hope this helps someone!

Don't believe there is such a thing as T12 Torx...
Also, if you're going to be doing much on your car. might as well pick-up a set of E-Torx. Home Depot seems to carry a good set on the shelf in most stores.
