Good morning.. For the past 2 weeks, my headlight assembly has intermittently loosens up. I have tightened it using the 5mm socket, will remain tight for a few :bumps" in the road, and then loosen up again..Would appreciate any input from the board. Thanks Peter

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sounds like you need to pull the headlight assembly completely out and look at the seat and locking mechanism.
Sounds like either one of your mounting studs are broken or bent or you didn't seat it correctly when installing. Take it out again and confirm all 4 studs are intact and straight.
thanks, I will try that..the only thing is that up until now(1 year) never had a problem

It could be a guide pin. It happened to me while i was replacing one of the bulbs. While i was pushing it back in i broke the guide pin in the picture (item 13). It's a few bucks, you can order it from Porsche. There's three more but i believe they are moulded into the headlight assembly. It may not be that at all, but it is a possibility as it did happen to me. Good luck!
thanks will check it out
