Default What tool needed to remove headlight bulb assembly from housing?

well, I recently posted stating that after some front end work done on the car, I noticed that I now have 2 notches in my headlight pattern instead of one. I adjust the headlights vertically so that now I still have two notches, but they're line up however are spaced ~2 feet apart after 15 feet from the wall.

I orginally was lookin for a horizontal adjustment but could not find any after removing the entire headlight. After driving around the other night, I also noticed that I'm now casting a faint light above the cut off point....kind of like a when you adjust the focus on a Mag Light and get a clear hotspot with a faint ring of light around it. That is when I thought maybe the accident shifted the focussing lens in my right headlight and therefore the beam no longer has a sharp cutoff in addition to the notch pattern not lining up with the left headlight (which seems to have the cutoff in the correct position).

My question now is what tool do I need to remove the screw that holds the headlight bulb assembly together?

It sort of looks like a torx head, but with a pin the the middle. I figure if I can remove the assembly and light bulb, I can fiddle with the lens to adjust it somehow.

They made it that way to prevent "fiddling". Your in too deep....might want to take it to the dealer.
