My headlights were vibrating and I found out how to stop them from doing so
1.Remove the bumper using this DIY:

2. Pull the headlamp out and bake it in the oven @350F for 1 minute on a cookie sheet. Then flip the headlamp over and bake the other side for 1 minute. This will loosen the glue and allow the headlamp cover to be separated from the housing
3. Gently pry at the tabs and separate the clear plastic front from the opaque housing using a flathead screw driver
4. tighten the 4 screws securing the low beams in place.
5. Place the headlamp back in the oven on a cookie sheet for 1 minute.
6. press the cover back onto the housing and ensure the tabs are locked in place.
7. use silicone to seal the headlamp along the outside edge as an additional protective layer
8. re-install headlamp and bumper.
