[V8] Euro Lights adjusted way too high

I finally got around to fitting the European lights that had been
sitting in my garage for a year.
First of all, I couldn't believe how long it took to get them in.
I removed the bumper, but felt like there must be a simpler way to
get them in?
Anyway, after all the plastic bits that could disintegrate, did
disintegrate, they are finally sitting pretty, and now,
they are very good at illuminating the neighbor's trees.
Because I was scared that planes landing at Dulles might consider
them runway lights, I tried to adjust them.
But the adjustment range is way off. The right one might just dip
below the back of a Escalade's rear wiper blade with flat tires, but
the left one is still revealing what my neighbor Joe does before he
goes to bed at night. What's more, twiddling the adjuster is about
as effective as my attempts to reduce the car's incessant oil leaks.
Has anyone got some dipping medicine for these lights? Otherwise I
might be just forced to jack the back end up 2 feet, and then,no one
on this list would want to admit that they knew me! :)
Mark.
