I'd be very cautious with that. There's a melting problem with the headlight switch that you need to look at. I believe @jrichker has the fix write-up and will probably chime in now that I've tagged him.

Check your ground on the radiator support.

I checked it and tightened it
I even changed out headlight switch
Just noticed that when I turn my ignition key on and turn headlight on my interior ding noise changes and sound very low bass

Check the voltage at the headlight when you do the same test. You may need a helper to turn the ignition switch or headlight switch on. You should see the same voltage as the battery positive terminal +0, to - 0.5 volts.
