Default Head light "flip up" adjustment

I installed the kit from Mid America to replace the Delron bushings that had crumbled in the driver's side headlight gear. Works nicely now but the headlight stops half way up while the motor runs another 10 seconds.
When I close it the headlight does fully shut but the motor again runs for another 10 seconds. Must have done something wrong when I pulled the gear screw-type worm gear out to clean it.
Where is the adjustment on the headlights?

If your refering to the manual turner it is the thing that spins on top of your headlight motor. sounds like you have something misaligned though. Does it do this when the hood is hot. My drivers headlight acts funny if i have ran the car parked it for a few minutes with a hot motor then try to turn the headlight on.

You botched the re-assembly somehow. The motor is not stalling out like it should but is running until the timer times out. What year is the car?
