Tamper proof mounting screws

I want to change out the turn signal swtich on my 1993 Voyager.
Alldata says that I need to remove the *tamper proof" mounting screws.

I would imagine that this means a special tool to remove the screws.
Where can I find this tool, and what would I to ask for?

Thanks,

KM

Assuming you are working around the ignition switch...it's the same thing I
worked with when I replaced my ignition switch and key lock cylinder. They
are probably standard torx bits (T-10...or maybe T-8 or T-15 or so)...but
tamper proof ones have a pin sticking up in the middle of the "hole" in the
head of the screw. You have to have a tamper proof bit that has a matching
hole. Not too expensive or hard to find, but you'll probably have to look
just a bit. Fortunately in my case, I had picked up a set of just such bits
some time before I had to do my repairs...

They look like this:

Harbor Freight has a set of lots of oddball "security" bits, including
this one, for little money. I haven't used mine enough yet to learn
whether it's "inexpensive" or "cheap", but being HF I think I can guess
which it will be.

I have not actually removed the covers to see what is there yet. I am
going off from what Alldata says. It just mentioned that the turn
signal switch is held in place with tamper proof screws.
