Default Anyone got a simple fix?

I dont know who else has this problem but the light on the door when u open it always falls out. i put white L.E.D.s in them and ever sense then they fall out. i mean my friend jumped out of the car and i was rolling and the passenger one fell out and i ran it over. LOL. Sounds dumb but seriously its embarrassing when i have to put my light back in. Anyone got a simple fix for this?

Heh, i had a similar problem, so what i did is since one of the metal pieces was still there, the one further from the speaker i let that rest on the inner panel and then used a ziptie to connect the power wire to the light to the speaker wire. SO now it sits in there, and doesn't even budge . GL, hope this helps some.

Zip tie method works. Just pop out the controls and you can see it all.

Remember anything attached to the door will take a beating....

I have this problem too. I tried extending the little metal clips out more so it will hold better to the door panel. It kind of works but you still get that movement. I hope there is a better fix.
