how can you tell its headlights when the whole car is shaking?

because when you hit a bump with a loose headlight.. the headlight is still bobbling up and down when your car isnt shaking at all.. plus you can see the light in front of the car twitching and shaking as well..

check where the headlights are mounted.. make sure they are tightly secured- also check your bulbs to make sure they havent shaken out of the sockets-

let us know how it goes.

yeah still not sure, it must be something with the bumper seeing how the whole thing is all mounted right along with the bumper assembly. One stupid question though: How come when you align the horizontal on the headlights, and i use the arrow and line thing in the headlights, does the headlights aren't centered and aim more towards the right?

All headlights are supposed to do that, It's so your lights don't shine so much towards other drivers.



I need to adjust my headlights up a bit I think, I have like... No range on them.

make sure the clip are pushed down and the head light is all the way back so the slide clips catch. this happen to me and I noticed the light shaking and almost lost it. that would suck :rolleyes2:

yeah make sure the headlight is in the clip good...but when mine was shaking i found out I had couple cracks in the header panel inside the clip area...so inspect that and if it is busted then order a new one

It could also be in the headlight housing also. Those of you who cleared their corner will understand : Those white pieces that adjust the lights inside the housing are attach in the housing with "little round balls" that clips in there. Its hard to explain in english for me, so if anyone know what I'm talking about, it would be appreciated.

When I bought a used headlight, it did that same thing, I found out it was this when I took the assembly appart. The "little white round thing" was unclipped.
