Re: A little help please
I use Permatex black silicone I get from the automotive store to hold my lights in place and secure the wires to the body and frame.

Re: A little help please
Hot glue is easy just remember to hold the light in place and blow the hot glue a little to cool it off or the light will move on you a bit.

Re: A little help please
I agree with dabears, sounds like a broken wire or broken solder right at the lights that are acting up? The fog lights stay in place well with the metal backing plate and yes I use the good old glue gun, all my trailer marker lights are plus the wires a couple inches from the light.

Re: A little help please
welp after digging into it deeper even hot glue wouldnt work on my turn signal unless i pushed real hard. so since i dont have 3 hands(glue gun, push,hold wire)i cut wire skinned back rubber boot and resold the wires back on to pig tails for a forsure fix but pain in ***. the glue forsure helped on all other lights just this one was gone couldnt save her. because of this i now know how to solder (rookie pace) and hot glue gun a must in this hobby! thanx fellas
