OUCH - aiming headlights
Ok. I might have brought this on myself but here goes.
Just installed the Rev Extreme HID's today and went out tonight to aim them. Pulled out the torx #15 to adjust the hidden up/down turning thing and sure as crap the darn thing stripped instead of turning! Now I can't adjust in the vertical direction for the headlight on the driver side. It's a little low now. I'd like it a bit higher.
Any suggestions?
Is there a tool to fit over the outside of that turning thing?

7mm rachet will do the trick ... 
Also, I would check to make sure the bulb is seated properly. If you're having to turn the adjustment enough to strip the torx screw, there might be a problem with how the bulb is "seated". I know this because I had the same thing happen ... turned out to be the bulb.

problem solved
Here's to another problem solved by the good men and women of this forum.
The bulb was seated crooked and I did pick up a set of the torx-bolt ratchets to make fine adjustments.
Thanks
