Default Headlight/projector shake

Hey guys. Just bought a new 2015 tC RS 9.0. Have a quick question as I'm new to Scion. I noticed that at night both left and right headlights/projectors seem to constantly shake as if the housing/assembly is loose. Everything seems secure as this is a brand new tC. Is this a normal occurrence with these? I'm about to be purchasing a set of HIDs from TRS but I wanted to know if the shaking was normal. I'd hate to buy HIDs and have them shaking all the time.

They shake when you hit bumps? This is normal for an economy car like the tC.

Yeah. They shake going over bumps/potholes. I just wasn't expecting them to shake like they do.

The actual headlight assembly itself is bolted down tight. So I'm assuming that it could be something inside the headlight or that's just how it is. I've never known for a projector to shake like mine are doing.

What about the bulbs? Are they tight in there sockets? Are they installed correctly? Have they been modified in any way?
Pull each bulb, and inspect the filament. Is it loose or broken?
Maybe you should take it back to your dealer and complain. It's new, it is under warranty.

Yep. Everything is tight and installed correctly. I suppose I'll take it to the dealer and have them look at it.
