Default ***HELP NEEDED!! - my indicators don't match!!***

Currently switching my clear indicators for smoked jobbies and the screw holding the current right one in is broken...



It is a normal screw with a plastic head for a six spike allen key and the plastic head has split so I can't get it out! Any ideas on how I can remove the screw?

Thanks

Bish

They always brake.9 times out of 10 ,when i,m stripping a focus front bumper down it happens.Havn,t done one for a while as these are only on the MK 1 FOCUSES,but am sure if you brake the plastic screw head of some more,(I USE LONG NOSE PLIERS)this will reveal where it is moulded on to the metal piece of the screw.The plastic bit is a FEMALE TORX BIT,(WHITCH YOU HAVE BROKE.But do what i said and the metal bit of the screw head is a MALE TORX BIT,but it is very small and can be unscrewed easily with the correct TORX.Iv,e gat loads of these PLASTIC SCREWS at work,but they are all ORANGE. Hope you have understood this garbled explanation.
