Question Regarding HID's

[Carson]

I notice the same with mine, but it doesn't seem incredibly pronounced. With the high beams on, I don't see it at all, but with low beams, the top (cut off) bounces some. I figured it was the shield showing some movement. What Birdman shared coincides with what I've seen on mine.

Its bulb flicker guys, noticed it too with the oem setup, meaning theres a little movement in the bulb when bumps are hit.. I believe it has more to do with the design of the D3S bulb then anything else. The only other culprit could be if the lens was actually lose in its mounts.

Ill be taking a set apart here in the next week and let you all know if I notice what would cause it. I would suggest taking the dust cap off the back and making sure the bulb retainer screws are tight.

New owner here. Have a question regarding the HID headlights (Xenons). There seems to be some movement of the headlight when hitting rough road. I can see the light movement mostly on the driver side. I was wondering if anybody else has noticed this and if this is just a characteristic of this type projection lamp. I own another car with Xenons and I don't notice this.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Yep, I've noticed the same.

I don't notice the movement at the cutoff, but more to the lower portion of the beam, towards the "corner" on the driver's side. It's like the lens is loose or something. I can see the edge of the beam jiggle a little bit. By the way, you 2013 guys check your lenses. Some ******* in Dearborn (or wherever the lenses come from) put a nice big greasy fingerprint smear all over the lens in mine.

I'm going to make the dealer look at them on Thursday (and clean up the smear). They're installing new driver side rear window and passenger front windows that their moron prep kid scratched the shit out of when he took the stickers off. He even left the flathead screwdriver that he used in the cab when I picked it up. It's now in my toolbox.

Other than these couple of issues, I'm loving the truck. The thing runs like a ***** ape and puts my FX4 to shame.

All the speed bumps and train tracks in my area disappeared last week when I got my raptor. Amazing coincidence.

I lightly pounded on my lens and could see the projector and light move in the same manner as when I hit rough road. If some are reporting no sign of movement I guess there is a possibility the bracket / mount is loose
