Loss of high beam range with HID low beam conversion

I finally got some 35W 5000K HIDs in - great - shouldda done it long ago. These are not retrofits. Anyway, I lowered the aim like everyone does to make them usable, a good turn of the adjuster. So of course now the high beam halogens just basically overlay the low beams. Any way to raise them back? I was thinking of shimming the high beam bulbs to tilt them up or down a bit.
 
Start adjusting the housings back up a turn at a time until people start flashing you again ;)

Consider 'eye lids' on the lens to imporve the cutoff...
