Default Headlight Pointed To High.

I just put a 21" front wheel on my 2007 Street Glide and replaced the headlight and spot lights with a set of knockoff Daymaker type light. My headlight is pointed way to high and blinding the cars in front of me. I tried to adjust the headlight down some but was only able to get about 2 turns out of the top adjusting screw before it came out and had no more threads. Anybody else ran into this and have a fix? Can I just replace the screw with a longer screw and get more downward angle?

Why not? Maybe add some washers. Use the procedure in the FSM to aim the light. But, if you bought Sunpie, it has been reported that when the low beam is aimed properly the high beam is aimed too high.
