Thanks!
Did you ever make a video of your lights with this issue? If so please post.

I have an X1 with the adaptive lights, and so far ( knock on wood), after seven months have never had jostle or bounce out of them.

I don't have a problem with the lights. They are rock solid. Looks like this light assembly was made 4/09/2012. Here is the pic for you.

I did try to make a video, but after reviewing the video, my hand holding the iphone bounces more while driving so its hard to see the issue.

The local BMW Dealership is aware and say that it is a common issue with ALL X1 with the Adaptive Headlights. (you can easily see if you pull your car up to a garage door with the lights on, and hit the top of the light with your fist. You will see the light beam bounce on the garage). But other BMW X1's I have driven or riden in do not have the issue mine has while on the road.

I have the Lighting package, which I believe means adaptive headlights and have noticed nothing like this. Love the HID's and glad to have them as is.
