Default Headlight YAW replced - now alignments?

s40 1.8 petrol auto x reg P1
Just replaced the headlight plastic yaw thingy.
I used the wiggle jiggle procedure rather than lowering bumper - bit of patience and it can be done - suspect if you have equipment etc to hand the other procedure is just as quick.
Removing the motor was a quandary - rather than just pulling it out I inserted a screw driver and eased it out - awkward but I did not want to break anything.

Big question - how does one realign the headlight beam - I know I can access the two adjuster - hoping I only have to re tweak the one I have replaced. Can you do it by parking in front of a wall in the dark - or do I have to get Volvo to do it for me as per Haynes manual?
