Replacement of headlamp bulbs do not require adjustment. Ensure the bulbs are seated correctly, failing which the focus of the headlights would be affected.

Behind the headlights you should see adjuster slots, either for turning the lights up or down and another for left or right movements. A philips screwdriver would be required.
