Default C230 Headlight Adjustment

I have a C230 and had the passenger side headlight bulb replaced this past summer. It is now aimed so as to search for the space shuttle. Is there a way for me to adjust it or do I need to head to the dealer. Funny thing is the dealer replaced the bulb, you would think they would make sure it was aimed right. Well maybe thats just me.

the bulb could just be installed incorrectly also. not seated correctly in the headlamp. the slightest angle of the bulb can make a huge difference. you dont need the dealer.

Just replacing the bulb itself should not have changed the "aim" of the headlight structure itself, so something is wacky here. I would take the bulb out (very easy) and then re-seat it in the headlight body. Make sure it is flush and fits right. Then check it again. By the way, did you find the space shuttle? How's it going up there?
