Default ef sedan headlight problem

this is something i've noticed more and more since i've had the car. My driverside headlight assembly "wobbles" for lack of a better word. when im driving i notice the light dissapation shake and vibrate. if i push on the highbeam side of the headlight, the assembly will move about 1/4" inward and then pop back into place when i let go of it.

Also, trying to adjust these things is a nightmare. im "able" to, but the driverside always sits a little higher than the passenger...i dunno it just annoys me.

could i have a loose bolt in the headlight assembly bracket? anyone else experience this?

i use to have this problem in my old ed sedan...simple solution is to bend a piece of cardboard and place it under the headlight between the bracket inside the engine bay and you should be good to go...!!!

i was thinking about that also, like a shim of some sort. but i get hooked up on trying to find out WHY this is happening...probably more curious about that than i am to fix it haha.

it sucks cuz my driversid headlight points higher than the passenger. they are adjusted to the lowest possible point.
