If it's very minor, I'd try removing the headlight that's in question (or both) and use some thin washers or hold them to the right/left while tightening the mounting bolts... I was able to adjust mine a few degrees that way. Not much, but enough if the rotation is off only a little bit.

If it's WAY off, you might want to think about taking it apart...

Those bulbs are over a year old, they have faded too. So you should consider getting a replacement soon for full brightness. TommyP knows more about the life of these bulbs, if I remember correctly they're fully bright for like a year or something like that then fade.
