Default I hit a bump in the road today and it unseated my headlights.

Seriously. Both sides! I got "Check signal indicators", "Check dipped beams", and "Check high beams". I had to pull out the tool and unseat and reseat both modules.

Crazy...

That frost heave was a significant emotional event.

One time, I didn't tighten a headlight all the way and kept getting signal error messages. The dealer tightened it for me (are they supposed to click when fully tightened?). He told me if I stopped really hard the headlight may have flown out! It seemed like it was sitting flush though.
