Re-Aiming headlights?

Anyone did it before? i saw in the bentley manual i need a special tool, but is it possible to re-aim without either buying the tool or going to the dealer?

on a related subject, my old 6000k xenons burnt out (well i think so, because one morning they failed, then the next started up fine, had me a bit worried) so im contimplating goin with 2500k (yellow)xenons or goin back to 6000k (pure white, what i had before) xenons

so how to reaim and which xenon..... anyone have answers?

If you look at the headlight assembly closely (kinda an akward (sp?) position) you can see 2 adjustment points. One is for up and down (labeled U and D) and the other is for left and right (labeled L and R, I think)... You simply need a flathead or torx screwdriver (can't remember off the top of my head). I had the same problem on my '02 and re-aimed the headlights, I aimed them too high up though so I have to readjust them down a bit. I'm at school now but I will take pics and post once I get home...

As above, you don't need a special tool.
