Have any of you ever had this problem before? I have an annoying rattle coming from the front headlight area, ONLY if my headlights are popped up..otherwise it's fine. The headlights operate fine..I have no idea what is causing this. Any suggestions? Thanks

my bad for bringing this old ass post back, i tried to search but couldnt get anything..

im getting this noise too. i have an s14 though but im hearing a sound that sounds like a cricket chirping and i think i narrowed it down to the area where my right headlight is..

at first i thought it was my shock on that side because when i had my car parked and engine off i would hear the sound as i pressed down on the hood on that side, but i got my coilovers installed and i still get that sound.

when i have my engine on its like a constant fast chirping sound, whatever it is its being caused by the engine vibration.

does anybody have any idea what this is? i dont think its something that serious but its just annoying
