trunk rattle gone, now, headlights rattle?

ok, i took a lot of ppl's advice in buying roofing material instead of fatmat or dynamat, it got rid of the rattle of the trunk. I spent like 20$ to make like 7 layers (maybe that was overdoing it, but it was so cheap!) sticking the asphault layer on my trunk lid. now, when i stand OUTSIDE, i can still hear somethign inside my rear headlights rattling, but in some music w/ tons of bass, i can hear the rattle from inside the car.

so, should i:
dampen the headlight wires somehow?
or
filter the sound from coming into the car?

i'm still not sure what makes the rattle, when the trunk is open, the lights dont' rattle. anyone w/ similar experience?

you have to take off the bumper and spray a hefty bunch of layers of rubberized undercoating. tha stuff help out with that and it helps with road noise

it could be the bumper, i got the car used, and it looks like the bumper has hit something big before, but only one side is hanging off a little. where can i get the rubberized undercoating? like home depot?
