Default jittery lights

im not sure if this is the rights section but i have been having problems with my headlights bouncing up and down. i have replaced the pivot crank arm on one side which tightened things up a little. then i noticed where the arm connects to the headlight assembly the bushing was worn so i replaced that. could a gear cause this bouncing? i really cant tell where else things are loose. thanks

Are they actually loose or do you think they are flickering/fluttering? I had a light flicker over bumps that looked like a bouncing light, and it turned out to be a bad ground.

Tighten the screws that hold the headlight to the bucket. My lights flicker a lot especially when braking. Think it's a bad ground?

Are the 2 plastic tabs broken on the back of the headlight bracket? If so, or if they are not slid onto the bracket, that might be your issue.

My driver side is loose as well. With the projectors it's very noticeable. I have to look at things this week. Let me know if you resolve your issue.
