Default Unstable headlight

Hey guys, I was driving and when I got home my headlight looked like it was dangling. I snapped it back in, but it's still feels a little loose. Any suggestions on how to tighten it so it doesn't fall of when I'm driving. I have looked for a thread but can't find one. Thanks for the help guys.

Sounds like either the headlamp housing(hope not) sockets are worn or the headlamp studs are worn.

(that is assuming you are talking about a land rover)

Yes Chris-Bob I have a '97SE7. When facing the engine I can actually press on the bottom inside corner and it pops out of the sockets. I hope I can change the bolts and that'll work.

If the plastic tabs came out of the slots behind the headlights, they just go right back in, then grab the plastic tab and swing it about an 1/8 turn, you will see a notch where thy go.

If the ball-and-socket is worn itself, this is what you need:Land Range Rover Discovery Factory Genuine Aftermarket Headlamp Adjuster

One of my headlight adjusters was broken, I replaced them all. They were pretty cheap. AB and RN both stock them.
