Default Bouncing right headlamp

When my headlamps are up (at night) and I hit some kind of bump, the right headlamp bounces for a fraction of a second, causing the light given off to bonce with it. Nothing major but kind of distracting. Any adjustment for this? Thanx!

Not that I can think of. Do you have the stock plastic lens? I went to the glass euro lens and it got worse. It never bothered me any before that...I did get used to it.

mine did this also, the dealer said this was normal. i took the headlamp assembly apart and bent the 2 stops slightly to take out the play. these are the metal tabs with a white plastic cover. you may need to adjust headlight aim after doing this.

I had this same issue when I went to the T84 housing! I've learned to live with it also.

chasswartz....could you post some pictures of what you are adjusting?
