Get creative with the motor, you'd have to engineer some way for it to stop halfway by switch.... like a dimmer switch.... but not really like a dimmer switch. I've only done it manually.... pull the plug, and crank it up.

Change the length of the crank arm and the push rod arm so the crank arm is shorter. It will lift the light less because of the smaller diameter circle it creates. Then everything will function as stock.

Take a hammer and whack your headlights until it reaches preferred height.
