    I swapped back to the original brackets on my aftermarket headlights and it solved the bounce, and the distance from the bumper issue.

    weather stripping goes under the front part of the headlight.

    it's a bounce, your options are top or bottom.

    I saw this today on his car, you really can't see it at all, particularly on his black car, and they're really snug.
