    I have noticed that my driver side headlight vibrates which causes the light to flutter, and it surely must be annoying to oncoming traffic. It's not the whole housing, but rather the reflector inside. Seems like it would be all one piece, but it's not. I can move the reflector by jiggling the bulb connector. Is there an easy fix for this?

    Is the bulb not secured tight?

    Somehow I missed the replies to this thread. :facepalm:

    I checked and both adjuster screws were there, so I turned the top one clockwise just a bit and it seemed to fix the excess play in the reflector. I guess this eliminates my excuse to buy new black housing headlights. :cool:
