Headlights Not Staying Seated
 

I bought two new headlight assembly's a couple months ago. They will not stay locked in position.

I followed the owners manual guide and turned the clamp until they pop in pulled on them and they do not move. However after driving a while both of them seem to come lose.

Help is appreciated.

They wouldn't happen to be the aftermarket headlights with LED running lights and turn signals, would they?

The rod that locks the light into position has a White bushing that is held in place with a snap ring (E-ring). Any way at one point the snap ring came off on mine and the bushing slipped over. The light kept coming loose because the rod was too low.

Replaced original with two of these:

Just replacement halogen headlight assembly's. Original Bosch were 2.5 times expensive. I paid 400 per headlight.

Those are OEM. Sometimes they are labelled Bosch, sometimes Automotive Lighting, sometimes Magneti Marelli, but they are all the exact same headlights right down to the markings. You have original Bosch ;)

Take the advice above and inspect the tray and locking bar.

Guess I did not hold my mouth right when seating them. The white plastic bearing and clip on seals were all good. Just did not rotate them enough for a good seal.
