Broken Side Markers?
So I installed some horns last night, which I had to remove my bumper to install.
Upon putting my sidemarkers back on, I've noticed that they don't sit snug anymore, and they are very wobbly. Not like they're going to fall out or anything, but they wiggle around a lot. Did I break them while taking them out? Or is there a way to fix it? Thanks. |

Take them off, then bend the metal tabs so that they fit more snug (separate them out a bit so they fill the gap of the slot better). Snap them back in and they should be good.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago trying to install my clear JDM side markers. They're FUSSY. I spent two hours, sweating. I swapped the metal tabs a few times between my old ones and new ones. They're just really fussy, and I think they could have been designed a bit better. In the end I got them seated flush and secure.
Take your time. Be comfortable. Don't rush. |

It is because your tabs are bent, look for a picture of how they looked before, and just give it some heat with blowdryer and slowly bend it back. This happened to me too.
