Default Loose and rattling headlights

My headlights buzz and shake. Is there a broken part that causes headlight to rattle and buzz?

Several pieces keep it held in. Why don't you take a look....

I had been trying for a long time to hunt down a rattle on the front left of my hatch. I eventually discovered that there is a black metal bracket held on by small screws inside of the headlights. It was lose for years and the headlights are not clear enough to see it rattle, didn't know that was the issue until the screws had backed all the way out and the bracket was bouncing around inside of the headlight.
I still haven't fixed it. Need a write up or video on how to take the lense off. =(

I had the same issue for like 6 years. Double check your engine mounts. I had the driver headlight out multiple times and even foam taped things up and replaced pieces of the headlight. Turns out my driver side engine mount was toast and broke apart but looked fine because the prior owner only covered the surface with window weld I replaced it and it's eerily smooth and quiet now.
