Headlight Removal Tool

Apparently, the headlight removal tool was lost or left out of my toolkit. Where is the best place to get a replacement?

Also, are lightbulbs available at Autozone? I have a DRL inop.

Thanks in advance!

You can use a 5mm hex socket, that will work. If you want the tool try ebay, or check with dcauto.com

Which light is out? If it's just the indicator the FLAPS should have it. If it's the actual HID headlight, they won't.

It's the "parking light". When you select the first level of headlight, it's the left light that's out. Not the primary headlight or fog light.

It might even be considered a DRL but not sure about that. I need to delve into the manual.

+1 on the 5mm hex and AutoZone had the brake light bulb in stock for me just two weeks ago.
