Default Shakey headlight

Have 04 S-2000 and the right front headlight literalley looks like it bounces from low beam to high beam. This cannot be detected when driving the car itself,but if you are in the car in front of you at night it looks like morris code going from low to high beam!! on moderatly smooth roads. Left front light does not do this, dealer has replaced assembly but to no good. It is really annoying to the car infront of you. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Try another dealor, or perhaps a honda rep to ensure its fixed properly.

I am not quite sure that this is a "thing" the car does. Its the HID's + stiff suspension... nothing more than the angle of the headlight beam bouncing with the car. They all do that from what Ive seen, I can tell an S2000 a mile away at night because of the bouncy lights.

I had this same problem when I bought my '01 back in 2004... the Honda dealer replaced my headlight and the problem was fixed! If it's just the one headlight, then its a problem... if its both, it's just the nature of the HID + an uneven road.

Thanks for the input, will talk futher with the dealer. I just dont want my wife driving the car at night and the person in front go off the deep end. I have driven in front of it and it really is a pain to see this headlight flickering at you.
