Default Headlight adjustment tool?

Does anyone know what size tool we need to adjust the xenon headlight height? I had mine adjusted and they are too high now and want to adjust them down a bit. It looks like a hex head, but am unsure of the size. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the bi-xenon were self adjusting and if there was a need for adjustment, the dealer had to do it. Maybe someone knows more??

The adjustment is simple, and described in the manual. You will need a long hex-head screw driver to make the adjustment. I'll check the size tonight and post it if no one responds in the interim. It happens to be the same size as the stock removal tool for a Perazzi shotgun; the only reason I happen to have it.

Thanks elh0102, all I need is the size of the hex head. My eyeball estimate is 3mm, but wanted confirmation before I go out and buy a long screwdriver.

Thanks!
