Headlights...An issue or not!

Well.. I was worried that I wouldn't get the min 500mm height but the good thing is I have... The bad thing is that I am concerned about how stable the lights are. I have not used a welded rigid bracket but have used some carbon tube mounted to an ally plate on the chassis. If you tap the lights they vibrate so the patern will be shaking I expect... Is this normal for a car of this type with cycle lamps?

when you take the car out for a test run you'll soon find out, another i would do is watch them with the car idling and try and see how bad they vibrate.
