Check realoem.com for the headlight parts for an E53 bearing in mind if you have Xenon or Halogen lights. There may be internal parts that have perished. Option 2 (you have little to look) is to heat up the light in your oven (50 to 80 C) to aid in removing the glued sections (if needed) so you can inspect what is causing movement.

I did this for a JDM Toyota many years ago with sucess (disassembly, inspection, repair and reheat to reinstall the plastic lens cover.
