Default Headlights shaking....

I've talked to a few friends I've followed on the streets, and they say that my headlights shake. This isn't the common HID Bump thing, where it looks like they are flashing all the time, but I'm sure its a little vibrating shake, as if they were a bit loose.

Fixing it isn't a problem, as I still have a bit of warranty left... but has this happened to anyone else? It scares me as it makes me think the car had been in a wreck before... care to comfort me? :-D

I would like to know more about this as well..

My lights do the same thing.. it's not a matter of the output of the color spectrum fluctuating from the angle, but rather that they're are almost actually vibrating.

I know it's not an HID-associated thing, because my dad's E46 M3 Bi-xenon projectors don't do it at all.

I figured it was something with Honda, but my friend's JDM ITR's HIDs from Honda of Japan don't do it either.

this is normal...it has something to do with the way the beams are cut off (i think)...i think that it is because they are not self leveling...no worries though...there is nothing wrong with your lights

err, alright... It seems as if it's only the left one though...

Like whenever my lights are hitting my garage door at night, the left one shakes whenever I rev it.... right before it gets to normal idle... at around 1000 rpm.

Oh well....

exactly... like I said, I wasn't talkin about the HID bump... where it looks like you're flashing the oncoming person when you go over a bump...

It's a vibration, but the low RPM engine vibration sets it off a little bit. I'll have it looked at under warranty I guess... thats all I can do.
