If you think about it, a smaller arm connected to the motor would cause the headlights to only open a lil bit, but it would also cause the motor to over-close, and that probably wouldn't be good. The trick is to make the motors think that they are fully open when then are only partially open. bruinbear714 seems to have come up with a way to do that, but his page is a little to technical and I suck at electronics far too much to fully understand it. Mike from clearcorners.com has also figured out a way to make them retain their full functionality, and be stable enough to be DOT legal, but I seriously doubt he would share that info, I don't think I would in his position.
If you figure it out let us know, because I have pondered over this question quite a few times too, and I don't think a pivot controller is the answer.
