Default Headlight Bounce

At night while I am driving, I notice that my right side headlight bounce up and down pretty bad if I am on a road that have even the smallest of bumps on it. When I am stopped or on a very smooth road, the headlights are fine. Do anyone have a clue on how to fix this? New headlight?

Make sure that the bracket/housing bolts are all tight and properly adjusted. Also check to see if it may be the bulb itself that might be moving.

I thought the bulb was moving but its tight. I'll check the housing bolts and whatnot when tomorrow.

I just now got around to check it out. The housing is loose. Do anyone know where the headlights are screwed into the car

There are 5 bolts for the housing.

THANKS!

I'm almost sure that its the screw next to the turn lamp. My turn lamp is loose as well. I wonder if I have to remove the bumper to get to the bottom screws.
