Default Halogen Light Adjustments

I just installed new 5001 & 5006 in my 65. The problem they don't seem to through light out far enough, [5 car lengths]. I have bottomed out the adjustment screws to get them to where they are now. The cans are dialed in and I don't think I can adjustment them so they open up anymore, they are close to max without hitting the body.
Just to let you all know I've been at this project for 2.5 years and this is about the last thing I have to do maybe.
By the way I took the car to the local cruise night this past Sat., and I was rewarded with a best of show. The car looks great and I promise I'll work on getting some pics real soon.
I thank you all as It would not be close to what it is without the advice I received from you all.

'Y' stop adjustment? Is the front edge of the head light housing vertical when open?

Carl I thought of that, but I'm not sure how much farther I can go. I'll do what you say and let you know.
