overall, happy with the result. Still not as good as i would have hoped but with reflectors, i guess this is as good as it gets. unless i go with the high beam coding.
Two full turns seems excessive even for very out of spec lights. Thats roughly 1/3 of the entire vertical motion range. There are two adjustment screws on each headlamp. The one closer to the centerline of the car is the vertical adjustment.

You did do this with the ignition only on, light switch in the on position (not auto), driver's door closed, and waited 80 seconds after closing the door to allow the stepper motor driver to go into diagnostic mode yes?
