    My 1995 Prix headlights have the stand male adjustment pins for up/down & left/right...but the local auto stores are striking out regarding the tool to use. It looks like a small 6-pointed star, standard torx maybe? But I need a small screwdriver handle with a female wrench, not a male wrench, and that's the hard part.

    What's normally used? Somebody like Harbor Freight carry these? Thanks for any & all help.

    They are called E-Torx sockets, for External Torx. you can get a set at Harbor Freight.

    They are also know as "inverted" Torx. It also might accept a phillips head screwdriver in the center for adjustment.

    Thanks everyone - and yes, turns out to be an e-torx. 6mm is somewhat loose on the adjustors but works.

    I got my set to change the ignition switch on the 01 GP. There are two 5mm e torx screws that hold it to the steering column.
