Default Fog Light Not Staying On

Quick question here about my 2008 Lexus IS350 fog light issue. I bought a pair of LED lights off of xenondepot over a year ago for my fog lights. For almost a year they worked fine with no problems. A couple months ago, I noticed that one light wasn't working. So I got in there and tried adjusting the bulb and plug to get it to work. It stays on for a few trips, then stops working again. Adjust, works, stops, repeat. Has anyone had this problem where an aftermarket bulb won't stay plugged in tight enough to where bumps in the road can cut off the connectivity? Or maybe any tricks to get them to stay plugged in tightly? I like the blue/white tint of the aftermarket bulbs and don't want to go back to the yellowish stock bulbs.

Buy new ones, less cheap. Looks like the connections aren't thick enough.

I didn't realize $35 for fog light bulbs was considered cheap. It's not like I got some $10 Ebay knockoffs. Also, the next step up was a $120 LED bulb kit that didn't seem quite as plug-n-play. Plus I didn't want to spend that much haha.
