HIDs Shake/Vibrate

Has anyone noticed on their 2K2 when driving at night that when you hit a bump or a ridge in the road that the HIDs will sometimes shake for split second? Really weird, at first I thought that maybe the HID lamp units were not secured or mounted tightly, but I checked them both and they seem to be mounted properly.

Dave, I'm wondering if it's because the light is so white that any type of "shaking" (even if it's very small) it's more noticeable than with ordinary headlights. Glad to see that I'm not the only noticing this.

NISSAN69, it appears that this is normal...though on some of the more expensive cars they have figured out a way of minimizing or getting rid of this vibration.

I made it myself. If you look at my profile, I have a bigger pic of it & if you want to download the pic and take it to a sign shop you can make a sticker out of it.
