Shaky Headlights
I've had my 2004 Express 3500 for about a year and my problem has to do with the headlights shaking or vibrating as I go down the road. I did replace them both (entire units) a while back but am unsure if the problem was there with the old ones. It is really only noticeable when I am behind another vehicle. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas? I did check the mountings and all appears as it should.

There is a gasket that comes with the new bulbs. If you replace a bulb, then sometimes the old gasket comes off the bulb and sticks to the housing. When you install the new bulb you are doubling up on the gasket and the bulb wont lock in properly.
If that is not the issue, then I would do as stated above. Make sure the housing is seated properly before adding the bolts. |

I have them too. On mine the lower mounting feet are broken and allows the entire unit to shake. The street signs look like strobe lights and I'm sure in annoying for the folks in front of me. I would double check the mounts on the housing.
