    I recently installed some HID headlights and notice some shaking in my passenger light. I believe it is caused by a loose projector, not bulb. Is there anyway I can tighten it without baking the headlight in an oven and separating the glue?

    By "HID HEADLIGHTS" I assume you did a plug and play bulb swap(not a projector retrofit?)
    If so, I HIGHLY doubt your stock projector loose. I'm betting its the bulb not seating properly. There have been various threads on "bulb bounce" with the 3rd gens(OPT7 comes to mind)
    What HID kit did you get?

    Oh no, it's a plug and play morimoto kit. I might consider doing a rx350 retrofit. Or just remove them and put halogens back. I have seen all the threads about the bounce and have contacted TRS. Just wondering if there is a way to deal with a loose projector externally.
