all, i have a 67 convertible whose taillights are driving me insane. I've replaced several of the tail light sockets with the standard white socket from various online resellers and the bloody things simply do not stay in place. Its a common routine to find all my bulbs/sockets laying on the floor of the trunk.
have tried bending the metal flanges to put more pressure on the "sides' of the hole of the tail light assembly, to no avail.
There doesnt appear to be anything holding them in place but friction, so I am hesitant to drill some form of hook/loop assembly into the housing. As these cars have been around for 45 years, I have to think there is some part I am just missing. Is there supposed to be a rubber gasket or something to help these things from falling out?
