Headlight Question

IsaidWOT · November 20th, 2011, 08:42 PM

Hey guys, my passenger side headlight seems to sit loose in the mount so it wriggles when I hit bumps. Any way to tighted that up?

Thanks!

Did you check to see if its secure

Friend forgot to put the metal things back in when he tinted them and wiggled around

Each headlight has two of these metal doo-dads that slide into slots on the backside of the housing.

Hopefully yours are just missing, in which case buying these will fix you up. Sometimes the plastic slots on the back of the housing actually break, in which case you're going to be stuck with replacing the light.

I was missing one of these when I bought my car. Found it for one dollar cheaper at my local dealership. No shipping charge either. Just FYI.

Both the clips are there. I'll take the headlight out and see if anything is broken.
