head lights bouncing

i did the mod of removing the yellow in the corners on the head lights and i remember when i was putting them back together the reflective backing of the head light, didnt really sit all that snug and i couldnt get it to go back in like perfect tight on both of them now when i hit a bump, hte backing of the light jumps up and down almost like i have a loose head light, very anoying, anyone else have this prob????

Id take everything apart again if I were you. A loose headlight is NOT normal. This is definitely the intaller's fault.

My STOCK left headlight takes a SLIGHT bounce when I hit certain potholes or speed bumps. It's not bad enough for me to take it to the dealer, but just enough to bug me sometimes. Obviously these headlights aren't all that tight. Probably another place where Acura cut corners...

that happens to my stock ones as well. seems like when i hit a bump the whole thing shakes for a sec, but its not bad enough where vision is affected. maybe i'll mention it on my next service visit.
