Nope, but you can pick up an allen multi-tool fairly inexpensively at any hardware store and they do come in handy.

DANGER carwatcher , proceed with caution , the adjuster mechanism inside the headlight is made of white dog poo , it will crumble at the first sign of pressure , I find a squirt of lube helps but if it locks up DON'T FORCE IT , that said , allen key or philips should be fine .

Cheers ,

Mike.
