Late Christmas present

Yeah....you could leave the lights dropped down, but if it were me, I'd make them maybe a foot or two higher than they are now. That way, if you had to climb a ladder to do some little something in the engine compartment while the vehicle is raised up, you would have some light to where you could see. I would maybe hang them barely outside of the posts of the lift. I've got an oil squirt can that I just keep drippings from new motor oil bottles after an oil change. Doing it once or twice a year is enough. Anything that is real oil, instead of WD40 will work.
