I have a 2001 Mazda 626. I need to adjust the headlights. The Mechanic said I needed a torque bit?? What size or torque bit mini set can I use to adjust the headlights. The angle is too low.

a mini screw driver will work if your careful and you don't want to spend the cash on a torx bit just be careful not to twist to had and snap the screw driver or round out the bolt head

I went over to Sears and I bought this swiss army knife type of Torx bit screw driver set. But they aren't very long and it seems like I don't know which size is the correct one. I tried torx t9 through t40 and it doesn't seem like the teeth caught on very well. Two things here, I need to know the actual torx bit size and I will probably have to buy the actual long screw driver handle. The $5.00 tool I bought doesn't work very well.

Anybody know the actual size to buy for a Torx screw driver? I haven’t talked to the right mechanic that knew for sure.

When using the mini screwdriver... Did you just push the teeth along in order to adjust them?

I just got a mini that fit diagonally inside the head of the torx tightly and was careful when I turned it.
