Friends: Insight needed re. headlamp problem. Thank you.

Hello,

Very sorry for all my recent rants / pleas for help, but a body shop recently ruined my car.

Anyway, this post regards my headlamps.

I got the car back with my driver’s side headlamp not working. The shop (thankfully) told me to bring it to the dealer, which determined I needed a new bulb and ‘module’. Dealer did the work and got everything working, but I had back and forth with them because they returned the car with the bumper misaligned, which the service manager and foreman ultimately resolved.

This past weekend, however, I noticed that the headlamps (driver's side in particular), slightly shudders / wobbles when driving over road imperfections / ruts and that the headlamps don’t auto level ‘smoothly’ in general, as I see adjustments being made when accelerating / decelerating. Unfortunately, I’m not 100% confident I remember them doing this or not prior.

So, can someone tell me is the auto leveling adjustments being visible normal? And, more importantly, is there an adjustment that can tighten up the bulbs so they don’t shudder / wobble? If not, I’m afraid I’m in for a problem! I'd like to know so I can return to the dealer armed with the correct information.

Please help!
