S13 Popup Headlight loose

[dannhctc]

At Night when I am behind other cars, I can see my headlight bouncing when I go over bumps similar to an old motorcycle headlight, or if I had crazy stiff suspension (which I dont <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> ) . &nbsp;If I flip the lights up and grab hold of the loose one and shake it, it's got about a quarter inch of play in it, as opposed to the passenger side which feels solid with no play. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Really.... No one else has this prob?

take off the black plastic shroud around the headlight, be careful not to break it, you have to fiddle with it to get it out after its loose.. &nbsp;Once it's off, look at the chrome trim ring that holds the headlight in, make sure that all 4 screws are in it.. Also look below the headlight, there should be a screw that fits into the light housing that is used to aim your light. Chances are that the housing slipped off of this screw and that is where you are getting the play from..

Lemme know if this helps, if not, try pulling the shroud off of the good light and look for what is different or missing on the bad one.

if it is an s13 then there is a spring there that keeps it from bouncing....also make sure screws r tight
