Default HID Vibration

Finished my $150.00 headlight conversion. Works awsome with one exception. When I go over rough spots in the pavement, it looks like they vibrate. Is this normal, or is something loose? Best $150.00 I ever spent!

I would guess that this is normal. I have the same conversion and mine dance a little bit over rough roads.

Thanks for the response. For the extra performance, it's a small thing to live with.

Noticed the same on mine, I was able to tighten the connection to get it a little more stable. But I have some on another vehicle that I was not able to get any better. Just make sure it is in there as snug as ppossible, w/o cracking the housing.

Mine don't move at all on both my C5's so I wouldn't think its "normal". I got mine from DJ Motorsport here on the forum.

I haven't noticed a vibration, but I first had a problem with the new HIDs pointing down too much. When I re-adjusted the headlights so the low-beam HIDs projected out a suitable ways, the high beam lights now shine up in the trees. Is there a way to meet in the middle? What is the proper height for headlight adjments?
