Default Vibration noise.

Hey guys. My '02 Fatboy has recently started making some vibration noise in the main headlight. I'm positive that it is in the bezel that wraps the front of the light. I've taken it off to see if I can see anything and there is nothing I can see that's wrong. I've retightened it and it made no difference. It is really bothering me, so what should I try to do in order to fix it?

I think I'd just pull it off, put a couple of spots of silicone under it and button it back up. That should knock out the vibration and be easy to take off if you ever need to.
