Maybe they are not in right? I noticed there was room for error on installation.

Default Yeah, I already removed and re-installed them once, gonna have to do that again I suppose :-(

My guess is the bulb housing isn't in there tight enough. I was just wondering if this was common. It's the driver side light, and when I first put them in, I was having this problem, so I adjusted the angle up a bit, cause it also seemed a bit low. This cured the problem at the time. But after my Coilovers went in last nite, the problem is back, due to the the stiffening of the ride. Oh well, the price we must pay for coolness. =-]

Default When putting the housing in, watch the first step

where you insert the inner corner in first. It has to sit right.

Yup, that's what I double checked first, 'cause I thought I may have missed the mount.
