How do I adjust the headlights up or down?. Right now they are shinning at the top of trees instead of on the road.. and do I need any special tools to adjust them?

No problem. You don't need any traditional special tools, but you will need a set of torx bits. Also, I believe you will need inverted torx as well.

Here is a guide that will help with changing the bulbs in case you need it:

Please see the info attached below that will include the in needed. Unfortunately, it does not have the size of the bits but if you have a basic set, it will be included.

Let us know if you have questions on this.

Thanks
