maybe a stupid headlight question

I have a 2000 Honda CR-V. The headlights shine out nicely when on bright. On dim they only shine out about 50 feet or so. Not nearly enough to stop if something unexpected was in front of you. My question: Can the dim headlight position be set to shine out farther without changing the bright setting? Like the title says maybe a stupid question.

This might help with adjustment:

Just be careful adjusting them too far up, because you'll end up blinding oncoming drivers. Not only dangerous, but can result in a ticket, or at the very least getting high beam'd back :D
