I think this is what he meant...

----Hey guys I just installed some Apexcone 4500ks HID head lights in my 3.
I got them for around $60, shipped, but I noticed when I was driving on a bumpy road that my headlights seem to be loose.
I checked to make sure the headlamps were tight, and they were, is it normal for the HID's to bounce?


But no, it's not normal; pictures might help in trying to figure out what’s wrong!

 

[chrissor]

projector lighting will always have a "bouncy" light projection as there is no beam pattern on the lense of the headlamp

he made it to 50 posts though....is it that bad.. LMFAO

 

[joelnazab]

lolsorry for the wrtiting... yeah what happens is when it is like a cracky road it seems like the light bulbs are loose but i cheked to see if it was on there right u know the little bar thing that holds them in place and they are

 

[skylar2ups]

It's normaly for the lights to look like they move up and down, a little, but if it's anything major I would say something is wrong.

 

[joelnazab]

i dont know if u have ever seen a tahoe going over bumpy road how the fog lights look... its not the normal moving with the car its different like i said it like its loose or better yet like if there is water inside the bulb and u can see it on the road when the car shakes

 

[skylar2ups]

If the lights are bouncing at a slower rate than the bumbs in the road I would say it's normal. They should also bouce after hitting smooth surface till they even out again.

 

[joelnazab]

naaah man this things are moving fast i tried to conact them but havent answere me yet... i also see another thread in here with the same problem

I have the same problem. The bulb is in tight. Light output is great, you hit a bump and you can see the light flicker. I have read elsewhere that it is not uncommon for the 3's to have a loose projector. I took mine into the dealership and they won't touch it because of aftermarket upgrade. I will have to put back to stock for them to touch it. I have also read that the projector is held in place with some clips that may not be holding it real firm.

 

[joelnazab]

yeah im thinking of just going back to the regular lights man its really anoying but i dont undertsnd why my uncles doesnt do that he has the stock hids doh

 

[skylar2ups]

The stock HID's are really nice... a lot of people on here don't think so but truth be told they are.

You'll never get aftermarket HIDs as good as stock HIDs.
