Turn on your fog lights, which is a less-direct lighting positioned below (or in some cars, within) your headlights. Also, keep your headlights on low-beam, high beams can blind yourself, or other drivers, which may cause an accident.
At night with your headlights on you can only see just so far down the road. Overdriving your lights is driving so fast as to not be able to react to something that is beyond the beam of your lights.
The adjusting screws for the low beam headlights on a 2004 Mini are on the sides of the headlights. There is a screw on the side for adjusting from one side to the other. There is also a screw on the bottom for adjusting up or down.
Slow down and turn your low beam headlights on. Turn on signal lights in advance and brake early as you approach a stop.

Some newer cars do this so that you cannot accidentally leave your lights on and run down your battery.
Projector headlights provide a much more intense beam of light for your car. According to CarPart4U, "Stylized projector headlights allow for a much more concentrated and intense beams of light for your car driving lights needs. Projector headlights direct light beam penetrates the air, allowing the projector headlight to illuminate farther down the road than run-of-the-mill parabolic headlights." http://www.carpart4u.com/autopart/Projector-Headlights-p-1-c-6.html
You can adjust the beam direction if that's what you mean. There are adjustment screws for up-down, and right-to-left adjustment. Raise the lights, and remove the plastic cover held on by three screws (torx drive heads), 2 on outside, 1 on inside of each light. Then you can access the beam direction adjustment screws. There is no adjustment for the pop-up portion of the lights, only the lamps themselves. Hope that helps ...
For halogen (non HID) Remove the MAIN BEAM bulb covers. Feel inside and there is a lever in each mainbeam light. Move the lever up if its down or down if its up This changes the aim of the dipped beam for continental driving Look in your handbook for pics
No. Either use your regular headlights since they help other drivers see you. Also, slow down.
After unscrewing the black plastic cover you will see a metal arm that can move up and down. I had UK lights fitted as such the arm was in a position for the uk roads. I had to go through a check in Holland and they confirmed the headlights wouldn't pass with current position. So I adjusted the lever. If I remember correctly, the lever for the right headlight (as you sit the in car) was moved up and the left headlight lever was moved down. The dutch authority checked the lights again with a special piece of apparatus to measure the beam . They confirmed the lights now passed for continental roads. I asked them if it was now configured the same as the European headlights and surprisingly he said no. He told me that the lever had adjusted the beam from UKroad configuration to a neutral configuration were the beam is straight . So its not entirely continental. Normal continental headlights have a beam specific for the continental roads, they are not straight. However the neutral configuration is permitted in Holland. This is why it was accepted and I did not have to replace the headlights with continental ones.
you cant, you can turn headlights on to full beam by holding down the "X" button
