Default Headlight shake

Hi,

I have a new C7 Z06 with about 600 miles. I don't drive much at night but I've noticed that in Touring mode and worse in Sport or Track modes that the headlight "light" appears to shake as seen on the pavement any time I drive over a bump or imperfection in the road surface. Almost looks like a liquid is moving over the lens/bulb...

It happens with both sides and is very annoying. Anyone else experience this?

Mine do the same thing. Low beams also seem to be pointing too low.

I haven't noticed the shake, but did think mine are a little low. They have a nice crisp cutoff, so as long as they're auto adjusting (and I think they have to be in the US for HID) they could come up a bit. But are they adjustable?
