Need my fellow Road Gliders help
I was out on a cruise the other nite and and it started getting dark. I noticed the headlights beam was about 5 ft in front of my wheel. Thinking WTF? I got home and checked the service manual on how to adjust the headlights. Says there is a stud you need to turn on each side of the bottom of the cockpit down by the forks. I got the lights moved up where they should be but I end up bottoming out the studs. WTF? Somthings not right here! So I popped off the clear lens and found that the entire headlights were leaning forward. There is a stud on top of the lights that you can rotate, I think it is threaded and has a rubber cap on the end to prevent schaffing the wires. Basically line it up with a hole about the size of a dime and push it through. My question is, isn't there supposed to be some kind of threaded clip/bolt that this is supposed to connect to? Don't know how my headlights are supposed to stay in one position when its free to move forward. The manual doesn't show anything. Am I missing a clip/bolt? Anyone else have this problem?

Might not be that bad. I'm sitting here looking at a Road Glide headlight assembly. There are 3 threaded plastic pieces for those little studs(you only use 2). They have 4 sided clips that push into rectangular holes in the fairing. They just might have popped out if you're lucky or maybe the plastic clip pieces broke.
