Also it's possible that it's flashing because of a coding issue and working the shutter for the Bi-xenon?

got the bi-xenon shutter to work about 1h ago. and drove yesturday when i noticed they are shaking on hard bumps only.

how can i secure the projector if it's loose? any screws? will check the bulbs tomorrow when i'm getting yellow h7 55w for highbeam and led sidelights.
