I believe that it is impossible to misaling lamps on most vehicles
when changing burned out ones. The lamp is nestled in a bezel,
secured by an outer rim. It is this bezel which is adjusted during 
the alignment proceedure.
As for the proceedure itself, a rough alignment CAN be done following
any one of several given in tech manuals. HOWEVER, I would
strongly recommend NOT doing it yourself.
Alignment is tricky and you will most likely not do it correctly
and, as a result, get shot at by one of the members of the net
for attempting to fry their eyeballs.
