Getting the well known front end rattle and vibes around 4-6k
Articles on here , HotPoop, and stuff like darrsi's tip here for the l/h bulb:

Thought I'd extend this just a little and do something to the r/h bulb (high/dip bulb) ..
Similar to darrsi, self amalgamating tape, but this time cut into 3 [very] thin strips about 5mm wide, and stretched, really stretched, around each lug. Pushed home in the housing (make sure you get the fat lug at the top) and viola , no more rattle on either side. As darrsi says, the self amalgamating tape has a "squidgy" soft cushion effect, more so than that plastic insulating tape stuff. And you dont need much of it.
Now there is doubtless going to be some smartarse who knows a better or alternative method. Fine, bully for you, tell us all about it. This is simple, took 2 minutes, sorted the problem.
