Default new repair job

hey everyone...seems like every other week i am taking my car into the service department! i've been having a lot of trouble with my left headlight assembly but now its all working fine, but now it seems as though my right HID bulb and ballast have come lose or out of socket. the angle motor doesnt move it anymore and doesnt even make a noise. also a piece of plastic have come loose under the left hand side of my front bumper in front of the left wheel well. looks like last time they took it off to repair the light, they forgot to put the screws back in. also the bose subwoofer is making a rattling noise...not sure whats up with that..

Well that sucks. Did they have to remove your headlight mount to do whatever repair you took it in for? Many people who've removed their headlights to put in halos, etc. have not gotten the manual leveler plugged back in. Apparently you have to push much harder on the connector than you'd think. The ballast is screwed into the bottom of the headlight, so if that's bouncing around then they didn't screw it back in. Also, check the retention clip on the back of the bulb to see if it's secure.

Try to secure the sub and you may want to switch to higher grade wire.
