Headlight jiggle

I just bought a 2013 LX 570 with 138K miles. My low beams jiggle on the fringe sides of the beam. The hot spots stay consistent. First early forum browsing lead to replacing the HIDs. Did that. Brighter for sure, but otherwise not changed. So I'm not a smart guy but I can spend hours upon hours on the internet reading articles and conversations when I get nervous something is failing on my truck. The next step would be to check the ballasts but most of those reports of issue are the whole lights flickering.

So with all that said, It seems like HID jiggle is actually a fairly common phenomenon. There are tons of other manufacturers that have tons of forums discussing a similar issue. I don't know though. I just wanted to at least ramble on that it seems to be somewhat common and we are not alone. If anyone finds a solution though I'm curious.
 
I just figured out how to recreate the issue. park facing a wall, leave lights on, exit vehicle and slam the door shut.
I'm about to go in for some warranty work and i'll see what they say...

Seems like typical 2013-2015 behavior to me. As long as the bulbs are not doing the flicker yet, I wouldn't worry about it.
