You will not like my answer... It is not normal for the shifter to move side to side while in gear. You will need new shifter bushings which are rubber or polyurethane (not sure on the spelling). These bushings are sort of like washers that go onto bolts, same principle. You may also need a new shifter linkage if yours is rotted out or deteriorating. The shifter linkage is basically 2 metal rods that run under the car and connect your shifter to the transmission. On my car they were rusted out, that happens in the northeast.
Try these 2 websites, www.mx6.com and www.probetalk.com very informative sites.

It shouldn't be. If the car's in gear the shifter should stay in place.

If you bought the HID bulbs with out the HID ballast this is to be expected. It says it is plug and play, but then there is some fine print. I suggest you use the tech help number.
