I just asked about this, and a lot of people provided answers. I actually just converted mine earlier today!
Theres a few ways of going about doing it. EBay has a kit for like 75 bucks that allows you to adjust the angle. I say screw paying for it.
What I found to be the easiest way was to take out the fuse labeled 'retractor' (30) under the hood. You could also unplug the light motor if your hands are small enough to get in there, or unhook the battery. Then get under the car, beneath the lights. Theres a rubber boot under each light covering a white wheel. Turn the wheel to lower or raise the lights. The only downside to taking the fuse out is when you pop it back in, they automatically readjust. Youre gonna have to keep the fuse out if you want them stuck that way. You can still use the lights, at the cost of lower nighttime visibility
Hope that helps, and thanks to those who told me the same
