Default new headlights changing bulbs

okay.
so my sister has an 02 ex. i always post in this section cuz when i ask about my car this is the section im used to and reply fast.lol. so.. we ordered black housing headlights and the bulbs dont come in them you have to put them in yourself.i have never done anything to a car. but i told her i could probably do her headlights for her. so i know how to take out the lights..just unscrew the tabs and unplug them. and my friend said i just unscrew the lightbulb from the back?
so i was just like aight i can do this. but now people are telling me i have to allign them?
if i just put a new bulb in do i have to align the lights or is it gonna be fine the way it is?
sorry for my noob question but my sister wants to be 100% sure before she lets me work on her car lol.

thanks

It should be fine the way it is, but checking the alignment afterwards can't hurt. I've found that even brand new cars can often use a bit of fine-tuning of the headlight alignment.

Make sure you don't touch the bulb with your bare hands. Use a clean rag or shirt when screwing the bulb in.
