Headlight Adjusting

Headlight Adjusting
I recently got new black housing headlight and the height adjuster screw wasn't the same between the original set and the new ones so I couldn't swap them out. Another thing I noted was that the new headlights are much deeper and the tabs where the adjusters go are longer.
Long story short, I had to realign these new ones by eye. I reinstalled the old headlights and made targets on the garage door as to where the headlight beam was in low and high. I then put the new ones in and aimed the to roughly the same spots on the targets.
I did a road test when it got dark and it seems that the low beams are lower..LOL....aimed too low. I'll have to adjust them up a bit, but this brings me to my next question.
I have a 2001 Edge with T-bars cranked to level the front end out and 31x10.5x15 BFG All Terrains on stock 15" rims.
I need someone to park on a level surface and 25' back (wall to bumper distance) from a flat wall and measure up to the center of your low beam marks.
It sounds crazy, but I know that there are guys that'll do it just for fun.
Thanks in advance.

The top adjuster on the new headlights is not the same as the one on the old set. Otherwise I would have swapped them out to begin with.

If you need work done on your truck, like your muffler bearing oiled, or your blinker fluid changed, just call me, I'll do it for cheap!
