Default Need tool help

I need a 4.5mm hex deep socket to adjust the head lights on my 08 Road Glide. I tried Sears and auto parts stores with no luck. Does anyone know where I can locate this? I don't understand why Harley uses parts that require so many unusual tools.

I didn't need that size for mine. I used a 1/4 in drive metric short socket. Sorry but I don't remember what the exact size was.

Craftsman loose pouches of allen wrenches contain a 4.5mm.
Cut it off at the elbow...slide it in a socket.

You need a socket or an allen wrench ? If it's a long allen type hex wrench I can hook ya up.
