Help! Headlight installation

[marky2006]

Hi, I hope someone can advise me if I've done this correctly... I needed to change the front sidelight bulb, so I removed the headlight unit as it said in the manual, and succesfully replaced the bulb. I reinstalled the headlight unit, again as said in the manual and turned the locking nut until it went 'clunk' (and noticed the unit being pulled into the bodywork.

My question is this... if I pull on the front of the unit and try to move it sideways, there is some movement - is this normal? I'm worried the unit is going to fall out! (Although, I've tried giving it a tug and it won't move forwards - it just feels a bit loose if you try to wobble it sideways at the front of the unit.)

Thanks in advance!

I removed and reinstalled my right headlight last week. I had the same concern. But, when I tightened the locking nut and saw the headlight pulled into the housing, it seems to me that it is a good fit.

Thanks for letting me know litg8r2001. I'm glad someone else has noticed the same thing. I'll keep an eye on it just in case.
