this happened on my OEM eurospec e36 headlights... the lamps inside were loose and could easily be moved up and down. Had to take out the headlamp and at the bottom there is a plastic "plug" that adjusts the headlamp, it worked itself loose.. just had to tighten it back up, then adjust my beams as usual. not sure if this helps you or not, but its an idea for you to think about at least.

yeah this helped alot, thanks, I just not decided yet if to buy that used head light or not. Does anyone know that if the ignitor on the oem ballast can be replaced or fixed?

Are you sure the projector is loose or is it the entire plate with the lenses and bulbs? Can you jiggle the back of the assembly with your hand? If so, you probably have broken adjusters, just like I had.
