I'm a complete moron! What did I do wrong? I replaced the bulbs on my fog lights last week--a pretty simple, straightforward procedure of putting a screw driver into the slot by the inner part of the fog lights and popping them right out. But one day, I hear scrapping noise while driving and pull over to find one of my fog lights fell out and was dragging on the ground for about a mile. This morning, the other one fell out! What did I do wrong? I now need to replace them but I don't want to do that only to have the new ones fall out too. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? When I put them back, it clicked into place. Help!

Just changed bulb in fog lamp. Found it diffcult to get it back in and secure but found there is a clip to the inside (center of car) that needs to be positioned so when you snap the fog lamp into place it wiill snap in to hold it.

Darn it!! [rolleyes] The same thing happened to me. Thought I had it secure but hit a pothole on a dirt road to the cabin, lamp soccket, lens and recptale fell off and I ran over it.
New one is $150 through BMW.
Will have to look closer at securing the lamp. [B)]
