Or you can bring it back to the dealer and have them align your headlights for free

No, use a long # 2 phillips screwdriver.

It's hard to describe the location, search for the RX-8 shop manuals, it's somewhere on the site here. Then goto Body, then open acrobat and select the bookmarks tab on the right, scroll down and click on Headlight Auto-leveling System.

You will need a flash light to see the white "Gear" like teeth that are being turned by the screw driver. DO NOT STRIP THESE "gears", or your royally F-d.
