I found one of my headlight sockets is very loose with the bulb in it. Did something come loose or break? I have not ever taken one apart.

Sometimes the glass bulb lets loose from it's base.
I haven't seen the socket come loose from the reflector. |

A loose bulb socket can be tightened up the old fashioned Old Farm Way, with a pair of pliers.

It is the socket itself, not the bulb. Do I need to go in behind the reflector?

the socket just slides into the reflector. so are you wearied that the socket is loose in the reflector or the bulb is loose in the socket. either one can be tightened up with a pair of needle pliers.

Sometimes the lead contact/s of the bulb are to shallow to keep the bulb under spring pressure. Take the bulb out and solder a small dab on top of the existing contacts. File down to suit and re-install for a wiggle free fit.
