vibrating/bouncing headlights
during my ride last night i noticed that my drivers side headlight
was bouncing all over the place and rattling like crazy on every
bump i would hit.
pulled it apart today and was prepared for some part to have
rusted off with no way to fix it.
i was very happy(????) to find that 3 of the 4 springs had rusted and broken
even found what was left of one down inside the front bumper area
and everything else looks to be very solid with just a surface rust.
made 3 springs out of one large screen door spring that i had to hold me for now.
works perfect and no more rattle

Ingenuity at work. Now, you can pull it all apart when the new stuff comes in and do a little cleaning up. Just have to wait for winter.
