Headlight bucket rattles
There's always something 
Car was parked and idling and I got out to open the garage and I heard a bit of a rattle. It's the left headlight unit vibrating up and down ~ 3/32" , definitely less than an eighth. I generally keep the lights up all the time with the override switch. Where to start? I know there is an up stop bolt and I wonder if I turned it to increase opening a little bit if that might correct the rattle. I've looked at diagrams and must say I find the entire unit confusing but what the heck. No idea on how to get to the bolt either since what I have found are videos with units on the bench, helpful but I don't plan on pulling the bucket out. Any ideas?
