Default Need help with 02 Sonata headlight alignment

Hi Hyundai'ites,

I've an 02 Sonata (2.4L base model). I replaced the front driver side headlight and the beams are off-gear since then. After doing few searches, I found that the alignment of headlights would have changed. Searching on the net gives few tips, but are not too relevant to Sonata. If anyone has insights on how to set this right, do let me know.

Instructions are provided on pages 6-17 through 6-19 of the owners manual.

Thanks Ken for your response.

I found that the issue was not due to alignment. I had not clamped the bulb properly. I found it when I was trying for the screw (or whatsoever) that needs to be adjusted for alignment issues. I did not find any screw kind of that can be adjusted. I removed the bulb completely from its socket and inserted it properly and this time the clamp was a lot easy to put.
