Headlight question
I feel stupid for asking this, but I just replaced my headlight bulbs with silverstar bulbs at the advice of many FTE members (Thanks to all who gave me advice). My questions is:
When I replaced the bulbs, I took the easy route and took out the whole headlight assembly. I read in a set of instructions that I might need to re-align the headlights after re-install. How do I go about this? How do I know if I need them re-aligned? How do I know that I did it right in the first place. I am a novice at this so I am unsure if I did it right.
Thanks in advance for any help.

When you removed the assemblys, you probably noticed those four silver studs on the back of each, and that they could be adjusted for the depth in which they went into the holes they came from. Did you make any adjustments to those studs? If not, you should be fine.
Just for the heck of it, I had my lights aimed at the dealer.

Thanks again for the info. I did not touch the studs behind the assembly so I guess I should be good to go. I do notice a little difference in light with these new bulbs. Thanks again.
