Installed HID foglights...need help aiming

After installing my HID foglights I realized the foglights seemed to be aimed a little low. I know I need a 1/4 allen wrench to adjust but I cant fit it thru the stock mesh. Has anyone found a way to aim them without totally removing them?

Use a small flat head screw driver to stick in between the mesh and pry open the clips that secure the mesh, be careful not to break the clips.

I know this is off topics, but did you remove the extra connector which says amg on the end of the factory harness? Also do you have an error cancellation kit. I am having trouble to get my hid fogs working.

you don't need an allen wrench. the plastic adjuster is also slotted so any flat head screwdriver that will fit through the mesh will work.
