Default Headlight adjustment - How to?

I have factory Xenons or Litronics or whatever they are called. For some reason the PO had one waaaaaaay out of alignment. No idea why or how but how can I adjust the beam without the special adjustment tool. Looks like some sort of star style allen key is needed to do this.

It is a normal allen wrench though I can't remember the size offhand. You could pull out one of the headlamps to check out the size. There are two adjustments. One for horizontal and one for vertical adjustments.

5mm Allen key. You need along one to reach the adjustment. Also, as you adjust vertical, it affects horizontal, and vice versa.

I did not have a long allen key, so I just pulled the whole headlight out, turned the adjustment screw a bit, and put it back in. About 47 times. On each side. It was a pain, but it worked!
