Vibrating Headlight Assembly My passenger side headlight assembly on my ta is loose and vibrates at certain speeds. How in the world do i tighten up the whole flip up assembly? do i have to take my bumper off?

I had that happen to me once. There will be two screws that hold the headlight on. I just tightened those up and that fixed mine. I don't have a picture for you, but if you tighten to many things trying to find them, that shouldn't hurt anything.

I had the exact same problem on my 98 TA...after taking the headlight assembly out, it was a plastic bushing...went to dealer to get replacement part...nope, I would have to buy a whole new headlight assembly just for that little plastic piece.
So, I went to Lowes and bought a nylon spacer...and went to work on it with my dremmel...much better than before, but still not perfect.
It was really bad driving at night...looked like my headlight was "strobing" off the street signs.
