What do I need to crank the headlamps up by hand....

Haynes mentions something that came in tool kit, right!!

What can I use that I might have lying around here??

Thx for any and all replies...

There should be a black knob on the top of the headlight motor.... turning it one way opens it, turning the other unscrews it from the motor for use on the other side...

Keep your fingertips away from the headlight assembly because if the motor is hot and you get to the end.. it may just reset itself and nip at you!!!

That's where the plastic knob goes into.

You just turn the knob by hand, no wrench needed. So, if you can find something with the same thread/pitch ...

You might have to pop the relays out for them to stay up or down when you manually put them where you want them. If I leave the relays in mine, after cranking them up ~1/2 inch, they close on thier own. Only way around it is to pull the relay.
