Where can I buy...?
I've checked at every local autoparts store and googled online for one but where the heck can I find a 10 inch 3-point Phillips screwdriver? I need to aim my headlight up a little bit and the stealerships keep telling me it can't be done when clearly it can. Thanks in advance.

3 point phillips head Never heard of such a thing...
In my '07 it was a std phillips head driver #2 IIRC. Have you searched the forum for details as it's been covered a number of times?
See this thread from about 3 years ago and my posts 21, 28, and 30 with pictures of the correct location. Also, the car must be running (for the AFS and auto level to initialize) before adjusting.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I've never seen a 3-point Phillips myself but I was just going off the video in the DIY sticky thread about adjusting our headlights, in the video he says to use a 10 inch 3-point Phillips. I guess the search continues..

I think they mis-spoke or you slurred your hearing
What was likely [meant to be?] said was.... a 10 inch, [number] 3, pointed phillips...
emPHAsis on wrong sylLAbles and punctuation will kill ya every time
If you're talking about this thread from the DIY sticky, the video is no longer there, that I can see. Ironically, here is post #13 from that thread espousing a similar issue to yours but not being able to find a 10 inch, number 3 phillips...
Anyhow, use the posts I noted in thread linked in my post 7 above. In those I show you exactly where to adjust and a picture of the #2 phillips screwdriver I modified to work. FYI, a US bill is 6.14" long - same size regardless of denomination .

Like I posted in #6 of this thread. I ended up using a 10" #2 philips but i think the head will strip the screw, I can already feel the screw not catching the screwdriver securely, I have to apply extra pressure and go extra slow so it doesnt strip it more.
