Default Headlight wobble?

Alright, just got done doing the gear flip on my pass. side headlight (what a bitch) but it works now. Before the gear was stripped, the headlights wouldnt budge (when in the down position) if you tried to pull them up at all, but ofcourse went up when the lights were on. Right when the gear was stripped, I could wobble them (both of them, wtf?) up and down a little, maybe 1/2 inch. I figured that after the little fix, this would happen, well I was wrong. I can still wobble both of them, just as much, and Im just wondering WTF is wrong. Anyone have the same problem?

Perhaps some of the bolts aren't at the proper tightness anymore?

- the headlamp motor/actuator bolts to the headlamp assembly tightens to to 7 N·m (62 lb in).
- the pivot arm with retaining nut to the headlamp motor/actuator tightens to 56 N·m (50 lb in).



BTW... should've asked what they did, ought to know what you're paying for
