Thanks I know I'll have to drill the old bolts out but I don't want to destroy the plate that goes around the lock because I will need it. I'm pretty sure I have to purchase new bolts from the dealer

When removing the old bolts, start by center punching the head of the old bolt first. This will keep the drill bit from wandering. What also helps is to first drill a small starter hole, then the bigger hole.

If you want to, use standard hex-head bolts. You don't absolutely have to use the special anti-theft bolts if you don't want to.

Got that sucker off. Used a propane torch and heated it up and it popped right out

Yeah I did all of that. Only key left is the glove box but I don't think that I'm able to change the lock since I don't have that anymore
