2011 GLK 350 - 4 MATIC
Smile 2011 GLK 350 Aftermarket HID Kit Shaking over bumps

Hey Guys,

About 2 months ago, I had a local very reputable MB repair shop install an aftermarket HID Conversion Kit ( I was stupid to not get the lighting package; huge regret ).

The problem I'm facing:

The passenger side headlight beam is shaking over bumps. It's a very very quick shake. It basically looks like something "bumped" the headlight. I researched how to remove and install a new bulb so I did that. 45 minutes later, I was finished and drove the truck. Surprise, surprise... Headlight still shakes!!! I'm beginning to think that maybe the housing is loose?

Any thoughts guys??? It would be much appreciated!!!!!!

Why not take it back to the place that installed it and ask them to fix it? Not trying to be cynical, but that would seem like the easiest solution. You're probably correct in that the housing is loose.
Cheers,
Jeff
