Is the headlight loose, or the whole bucket assembly?

You can bend the little metal tabs that hold the lights in to make the fit tighter, but they will eventually bend and loosen up. Permanent fix is to fabricated replacement tabs with thicker metal. Do a search on "loose headlights" on the ffcars forum - there are several threads on how to do this.
