Adjusting Euro headlights for 190e

OK, I bought a set of euro headlights and put my car back in the original condition it used to be before it came to the US. Much nicer looking lights and I just rewired the connector to get them working. Now for the adjustment question.

There are 3 screws on the lights. One adjusts the height of the fog light, one adjusts the height of the lamp, and the third (in the far left or right corner) does what? It is so hard to turn I'm not even sure what it is doing.

Another question. Last night I adjusted the fogs and low beam lights to go the distance I like, but when I go to high beams the light gets worse. I cant see the road in the distance going up a hill (which I should) and it seems like I get some stray light pattern on the ground about 10 feet from the car going to the left. Could the far left/right adjuster be for the height of the high beams? Or is something else wrong?

I am using H4 bulbs that are 60/55w and I'm wondering if I can use higher wattage lamps for more highbeam light? I should be able to see further, but when I go high beam it just seams that the light scatters everywhere and there is no decernable place where the light is pointing. Its just difused everywhere and no good to me.

What is wrong? Help to anyone who can please!!
