Question headlight pentagon adjustment screw removal

Hi there,
does anybody know where we can find special screwdriver with pentagon bit in order to adjust head light levels .
I have used screwdriver with torque bit T-27 but it will slip and ruin screw by it self so in the future will b hard to adjust it.Also that screw with that special pentagon head needs to be removed when u replacing ballast in order to remove big connector.

​​​​​​​thanx in advance

Sears should have them. Maybe even a Harbor Fright if you have one in the area. As far as adjusting the headlight, it should be a #2 or #3 Philips head screwdriver unless they replace it with an aftermarket. The adjustments is inside the fender, so you need a very long screwdriver.

That is not the headlight adjustment screw. You will be able to adjust levels with a Philips screwdriver

That is an Allen Key bolt. And like tcr101 stated," It's not the adjustment screw.

Lexusisgs: There is no such thing as a pentagon screw, the name is Allen. And the T-27 is a Torx, not torque. The Allen screw does not adjust the lights.

This is what I thought: as per the manual, the adjustment screws are 3 Philips screws. One for the low beam vertical adjustment, one for the low beam horizontal adjustment and one for the high beam vertical adjustment.
