Default HID / Xenon headlights bounce / shake

I installed a set aftermarket HID / Xenon headlights I bought from SPP and they seem to bounce / shake when I drive. Got them installed in a set of E-spec projector headlights...think that might be the problem?

All the screws seem snug and tight, maybe the E-specs don't fit the US cars exactly?

Anyway, my friends n I couldn't figure it out so I thought I'd try here.

Thanks!

There is a small Stopper that you need to install as you probably do not have motors which self adjust the headlights. Search the forums and you can see a pic of the stopper or buy motors if you want motorized.. but thats just too much hassle..

Default thanks, but mine aren't HID headlights, I found this site

and the inside of the housing is different than mine.

The projector seems to be anchored in solid to the headlight housing.

I'll figure it out, thanks anyway.<ul><li><a href="http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/euros/euroinstall.html">http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/euros/euroinstall.html</a</li></ul>
