Headlight 'shake'

[crazymixedupkid]

My passenger side headlight has a bit of a shake on it ... which is really annoying at night and must look really naff to any onlookers!
Anyone had a similar problem? Easily fixed?

Thanks
Paul

Are you using OEM bulbs or some other type? Low beams or high?

Check all the hardware. Remove the four screws that hold the headlight garnish (the plastic cover that's the body panel). Once you lift it up (you don't have to actually remove it) you can check the four screws that hold down the headlight unit. Also check the caps at the rear of the unit and make sure that the bulb is mounted firmly in the unit and held down firmly by the metal clip.

What about .. the two lights arent matched up together when they project>>? ( cant help with the headlight fine tuners )

Seems to me that over time the little rubber stops at the very back of the light will also compress. That is why they are on screws. I merely adjusted mine (tightened them to hold the light in place more tightly. Worked great.

I have the same problem with my passenger side light. I went in there under the cover to try and fix the problem but it seems that the part of the plastic that adjuncts the screw to keep the light forward has worn away and is loose. I fixed the problem by using two zip-ties. =) It'll have to be fixed eventually.

Thanks for all your replies ... wound the screws the rubber stops are on out a bit and it seems to have got it sorted!
