Default Bouncy Headlights?

I just installed my HID an i noticed on bumpy road or crossing the center divider my headlights seems bouncy...you can see that the light is vibrating up and down. I ma not sure if my headlight is loose or too tight. anyone else have this problem. Only had the car for 2 WEEKS never notice if the stock headlights did that or not.

Check your bulb it's probably not lock in place.

Yeah I had that before, the the bulb not locked in properly into the housing. It always feels like it's in, but once you wiggle it a little it comes loose almost.

Give it a try.
