2013+ OEM HID bouncing issues

2013 F150 OEM HID Projector Flaws - YouTube

The video above is a good little gee wiz info on why the light bounces when on bumpy surfaces/off-road... I just purchased some oem hids and have yet to install but if it bugs me I may end up having one of our vendors see if they can do this little fix...

Hey Dan, the bouncing was mostly with the early lights. I have not had any complaints about it in a while so possibly ford stiffened the spring tension on the cutoff shield? Also a lot of people confused "bouncing" with the movement of the cutoff line due to movement of the truck, if you have never driven a vehicle with HID's and are not used to seeing the sharp cutoff line it can fool you into thinking something is wrong with the headlight.

That would be amazing! But I don't think it's as bad as everyone's making it out to be... Just a very subtle shake over a pot hole or speed bump... I can't see small imperfections in the road causing any of that... But I'll be sure to give you a shout if anything comes up when I install mine... Can't wait only 2 more months until I get to see them for the first time in person lol

My 2013 was one of the first 13s built, and yeah my lights bounce and jiggle.

Going to solve that problem soon with retrofit upgrade from Dawson.

hopefully it was just in the earlier models like Dawson stated above... plus ive only seen it on the raptor version and none on the FX4 versions which i ordered from him... i'll be sure to update this thread with the results once i get home in May

Mine which was built in July of 2013 jiggle. My wife actually just noticed it lastnight.

Don't ya hate it when they notice shit like that.

My truck was built in Feb 2013 and the lights jiggle over uneven pavement, concrete expansion joints, etc. It's the little terrain that bugs the most because bigger pot holes the whole frond end will move and is not as noticeable.

Is there an easy fix for this yet?

Just watched the video... not such an easy fix!

Only reasonable/logical fix would be when you upgrade the projectors and housing components to see if they can fix or just upgrade to a higher quality projector which most do eventually... I can't justify it if they shake a little... I'm not that picky and it doesn't sound like its a huge bouncing issue but rather just noticeable if looking for it
