you can either bring it to honda... or re-adjust them yourself ( Honestly dont remember if there are screws/bolts to turn on OEM housing but, if there are then thats how you would align them)
If its aftermarket projectors then, turn the screws/bolts

There is a huge diy on how to do this, but basically look for a small gear on the headlight and stick a screwdriver (star shape) to turn it. It will move up and down.

Here you go, and there are alot of huge pics. Hope you have fast internet. Here's the pic. You stick the screwdriver in the hole and down to where the gear is to turn it. You can see it all here

Rep Power: 811 Try to loosen the screws on top holding the headlamp in place. Then you should be able to move it back to the right spot. If it doesn't move, you'll need to take off the bumper to get to the other two screws underneath to loosen the entire headlamp.

I just stuck my hand in there and wiggled the bulb until it fit into place and aligned with the stock bulb.
