Default Replacing X-Type Headlamps

Is it as simple as popping in a new bulb? Or is there some aiming involved? The last time I aimed a headlight, it was back in the 80's and I didn't do a good job. Granted it was a 79 Ford Mustang. So I don't want to screw up my Jag. Even if it is a wagon.

$#$#@$#!

Oh well. I would take it back to the dealer, but I have a good friend who is the Head Service Manager at a Honda dealership. Since the car went out of MFG warranty, he's been reliable and cheaper than the local Jag dealer.

Does the bulb just need repacement or the entire lens need to be replaced?
