Headlight adjustment question
What kind of tool is required to turn the headlight adjuster screws? It's like a 5 or 6 pointed star pattern thing-a-majig. Does it have a name?
Also, I'm assuming the adjuster closest to the hole is for left/right adjustment and the one waaaaaay down in there (the one I need to adjust,naturally!) is for up and down?

The star shaped fasteners are Torx and are sized T-15, T-20, etc. Good idea to get a set from T-10 to T-30. As far as adjusting the headlights I always bring it in. Don't want to blind somebody and have them run into me!! 
Good luck!
Good luck!

You can also use a 7mm rachet. I liked it better than the torx head ... it won't strip the head. Just my .02
