Headlight Aiming

[GrandRamGT]

Ok, I have changed my headlights numerous times and can usually get them aimed right. However, since I installed new LED's and silverstar signals up front, I can't get the headlights aimed properly. So my question (kinda confusing) is if someone that has their aimed properly could measure the distance between the cream colored plastic thing and the end of metal rod. See attached pic. Sorry if this is really confusing.

I have discovered that when aiming the lights, the bulbs don't move. Instead, the whole headlamp housing moves. So all I had to do was aim it so that the housing is flush with the front end. From there, I shine the headlights against a wall and see if there are any differences. If so, I make the nessacary changes.

Notice in this pic how my headlamp is sticking out. You can see the rubber:

Read it many of times...since I've taken the headlights out numerous times as I said in my post.
