driver side xenon vibrates a lot over small bumps..?

[Manny G.]

hi..

i upgraded to euro xenon headlights a recently and i noticed that my driver side headlight has a lot of movement when going over small bumps ... however when i first turn on the car, it still auto levels.. has anybody had this problem or know what could be causing it? what should i check?

thanks

I'm not sure about xenons and the auto leveling, but in E39s with halogens that shaking is symptomatic of headlight adjusters going bad. It's a damned $4 piece of plastic that is old and no longer has the structural rigidity, so it makes the headlight bounce.

yeahhhhh bounce is a good way to describe it.. do you happen to know the part number of it or have a picture of what it looks like?
