Vibration from front light

Technical Area Body, Interior & Styling

Just noticed when idle when stationary, there is a vibration coming from the o/side headlight area.

 Is this a common fault  with a loose bolt or screw I need to be aware of ?

 Thanks

Most likely something loose. Check the mounts and fittings make sure there’s nothing loose and also there are a couple of rubber or plastic stops which may have come off.
Also check the arch liner is secure

The pic shows the top stop which holds the light steady when the lights are up, remove the lid to gain access. There is a similar one below the lamp to stop movement when the lamp is down. Just unscrew the bumpstop a little and try it.-----

Found the issue - its the plastic lugs that connect to the ball joint via the short swing arm - they have gone out of shape, hence have a lot of play in them.

 

Does anyone know where you get these from ???
