Default Turn signal lens coming loose ('99 LS400)

Hello all,

I have a '99 LS400 and the right lower turn signal lens comes loose every time I drive. When I get out, I can easily "press" the turn signal lens right back into place. My question is, where is the screw/clip, etc that I need to tighten to keep the lens in place?

Thanks,
Dan

It's a dummy light housing and not a turn signal -- it doesn't contain a bulb. On Japanese home market cars the housing is much deeper so it can hold a bulb for a corning light.

This little dummy light housing is held in place by the one screw you can see and a friction fitting -- the housing should snap into place via the friction fitting so maybe something is broken. Remove the one screw and pry out the housing -- I've used a stiff blade putty knive to pry them out on my car.
