LOOKS LIKE ITS BROKEN AND RUSTED or something, this bolt is NO torx bolt
it is supposed to be a standard 10mm hex bolt, that holds the headlights in at the top
but better quality pics would help out a bit
try uploading on tinypic.com

oh i was looking at this link below and it looks like the tamper resistant bolt but there is no hole for the torx bit to go in . Is there any other way i can remove headlight other than ripping the plastic bracket off ?

The entire point of those tamper resistant bolts is that they're a PITA to take out.
The head shears off after it's fully torqued. You should be able to figure out how to remove them.
