Headlight trouble

That is because the male connector gets pushed away if the clip is broken.

Check to see f the clip is broken. Compare how tight the connector is on one side with the other.

So in fact it's moving. Can you get the clip separately? And oh, what I learned for the price of $40: Don't touch the corner reflector while pulling the unit... It WILL break :-(
