Default spotlamp socket size
I've looked all over and can't find an answer. What size socket will I have to sacrifice to adjust the spotlamps (passing lamps, fog lamps, whatever they're called) on a 2010 EG Ultra?
Thanks in advance

I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap 9/16 6point deep socket. Took a grinder and ground a slot for the wire. Took a few minutes, but I got it, tested a few times, and works well enough to do what I need to do or adjust, replace. Make it or buy it, either way you need the special!!!
