Misplaced Headlight Lock Tool

Having trouble with a headlight connection and need to remove it (2004 996 Turbo Cab).

It has a problem, so I've used the tool a lot, but now I cannot for the life of me find it.

Any suggestions on another tool I could use, or do I have to order the tool from Porsche. I'm guessing it is about $4,500 for the tool (It is a Porsche, after all).

And yes, I searched and searched before I posted.....

Thanks to all.

You can get one from England for $27.00 (saw them cheaper a while ago...) but you can also get a socket allen 5mm mount on a 1/4 inch drive socket...

No tool set or manual with my car, pretty sure I just used a socket when I was pulling mine and nothing special. Just tried a few on various extensions until one fit - easy peasy!
