Default Driver Side Headlight Issues

My driver side headlight does not lock in tight. It opens and closes fine but when it is closed i can take my finger and push on it and it moves. It flutters slightly when i push on it. Any suggestions on a ***?

more than likely its caused by the bushings.
seems to be the most common problem with the headlights.

Agreed. Most likely bushings. If you notice anything that resembles saw dust under the hood where the light is, those are the bushings being worn down. You might also hear the headlight motors continue to turn after the light is down or up. The good news is that the bushings aren't expensive. The bad news is that it takes a few hours per light to swap
'em out. Not a horrible job, just a tedious one. I believe there are some tutorials on this forum somewhere - just do a search.
