Default LED head light?

OK I have an 01 lowrider, I'm wanting get out put an LED headlight on it. I'm running into the light fits, but the bucket isn't deep enough for the lamp to go fully in?
For those who have made the conversion, how did you get the lamp in the bucket? And I've noticed the all lamps have the same building.

Thanks...

I failed to mention that the LED headlight won't slip inside the aluminum ring inside the bucket housing either..

I had the same issue, My bucket was to shallow so I had to get a deeper one at the dealer.
Plus some lights need a special mounting bracket, Also to get rid of that ugly 1/2" of LED that still protrudes from the bucket you need a new trim ring.

You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers? My local Harley dealer is clueless.... And they had no clue as to what I was talking about.
