HID's Vibrates

I have te HID's on my car and for some reason the lights vibrates when I get into a rough street. I think am explaining myself correctly if not, well wat can I say. I checked everything in front of the car and looks fine.. bolts are tight what can it be?

Thanks

What clips do you have underneath the lights? The HID's need the '02-'03 clips (the white ones) for a better fit.

the 02-03 are not the white ones.. they are like a grey color.... got those from DaveB. I have been running the HID's for more than 6 months and it is on my head what the problem could be.....

Yeah, you're right. I got the colors mixed up. It's been a while since I put my HID's in. I'm not sure what it could be. I have the same type of bumper as you ('00-'01) and mine are pretty tight. When I put my lights in, I also bought new clips for the **** that goes into the fender. How are your tabs on your headlights?

Have the same problem, but it only happens on very hard bumps.

The metal that holds the clasp may be broke or there may be a problem with the clasp itself. I had a similar problem but was able to fix it. The piece that holds the clasp was broken so it didnt hold the bulb all the way in.

sry to be off topic, but to add the 02 housings into a 00 u need to get new tabs that hold the bottom of the housing? just verifying, casue ive never heard of anyone mentioning this b4, i was always under the impression that they just pop in after a lil rewireing and thats it.
