Well you probably did them right but these cars headlights has very low light output or maybe you can by new bulbs and see if light output increases.

I did have this problem before and it turn out the wire harness stuff for the lights were in the way and got jammed in when I put the lights back in the slot which explanined why I had to keep good pressure on the headlight while I get it in the slot at the same time. Hopefully this is your problem, somebody will chime in later on this matter.

There is an adjustment screw if you look at the top section you will see a screw that looks like a starfish and has a philips centre turn this to move beam up or down.Chico(pops)

Oh and you have to be sure the headlight capsule's tabs are all in their slots. I had that problem one time man what a pain that was.

make sure the corners are lined up correctly... like when you take out the screw to disconnect the corner from the main capsule, you need to put it back so that the corner is on top of the main capsule right there...

that might be hard to understand...
