Pretty much just what the title says. When i go over any bump my headlights jiggle up and down. I had the dealership look at it a while back and they said everything looks normal. so in effect they couldnt explain why it happens.

i am curious if anyone else experiences this too?

(It doesnt bother me, but i know it must bother the people infront if me....)

I figure when I get time to clear my corners ill fix the problem.

2 things..

1, Of the little latches in the headlight assenblies are not latched or are gone sloppy you're gonna have a problem...

2, Second problem might be that the bulbs are not snapped in properly, i had that problem....i re inserted the bulbs and snapped then in right and they are good now.


Hope this Helps.....

Yes, mine jiggle a bit......but it's mostly due to vibration from the polyurethane transmission mount.

yeah, its not the bulb that jiggles, its the the hole asssembly. I figured i wasnt the only one. Oh well, chalk another one up to good GM engineering.........

(I was glad to see someone made a joke about the title, too bad sweets not around...... :( )
