Failing that, let me throw some dice (neither I nor anyone else here knows how bright your lights are, so none of us can provide a realistic starting point).  OK, got it.  Set your camera to f/8, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/100 (or as close as you can come to that). procedure to take a picture:1) take a picture and evaluate it.2) If it isn't the way you want it, apply one - and only one - of the following rules:    A)  if the image is blurry, get a tripod, brace the camera against something, or reduce exposure time.    B)  if the image is too dark, either open up the aperture (the number will get smaller),         increase the time the shutter is open, or          increase the ISO.    C)  if the image is too bright, either close the aperture (the number will get larger),         decrease the time the shutter is open, or         decrease the ISO.     If you made a change, go back to step 1.[/QUOTE]
