Tail / Stop Bulb keeps falling out...

This is really starting to annoy me now!

My rear Tail/Stop bulb, (580) falls out of the holder after a few weeks, it's always pushed in properly though it doesn't seem to "clip" in?

It means I have to remove the rear light cluster every time and shake it around until I can get hold of the bulb, which is a pain...!

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so - how did you get round it!!!

Cheers...

Well, I finally sorted it out....

It looks like I wasn't pushing the bulbs into the socket hard enough so that they seated correctly - D'Oh, what an idiot...

I did have to REALLY push them in hard though - thought the bulb might break!

They're not going anywhere now though!

Sorted...!

Take a small screw driver and gently pry out the contact area in the socket and do the same with the bulb. I had to do this with my car. Works fine and dandy now.

I had it shake itself loose twice on me.
