Default I hate HID's... Help...

So I've been trying to remedy this shaking beam when I hit Nasty bumps in the road. I took the headlight out... Made sure the bulb was tight to the internals. The internals are solid to he housing. And the housing is solid to the body. All the wiring is 100% solid also. Anyone have any idea what gives? The dude who hosted that GB from the CBR1100XX site, Andy, seems to not want to support his product he is selling. I'm sure he may have the answer, he may not, but still it would be nice to get some sort of help. My car looks like a POS Corsica with bouncing headlights. Keep in mind it didn't do this at all with the H1 halogens in them. ARRGHHHHH I'm so frustrated. Can anyone shed some light on this perhaps?

As stated before, not a "how good the light output is" issue.

Default Yes... Complete housing and internals are solid. I think its the el-cheapo HID's. Cause the fog's

Default My friend's stock C5 A6 Xenon HIDs shake when he goes over certain bumps.

Maybe it's an HID thing?

Thats what I've been told by others in other non-Audiworld forums. So I'm thinking that.
