04-35coupe ballast plug, unplugging…

Don’t know why this happens but the plug keeps coming off the back, with the rope wire, I thought of trying to pull all the slack up cause it is enough to mess up installation, it might mess up the “installation” = nightmare or like building a front end.

I have to go in my fender and snap it back. Gorilla tape?

I changed the light bulbs one by one, like surgery, taking each wheel off, thought it would be easy.

“The plug comes off the driver side a lot and the lights are $200 a piece or something.
Not sure if anyone had this happen to theirs.”

I know the bumper is connected to the lamp because it moves. I just don’t know why it keeps unsnapping and these bulbs are expensive to risk burning out, much less killing myself to do it by myself, comments please..

It’s like operation the game, the whole game, the bulbs, ground, bracket, screws not falling, in the light, remembering how it sits, and 45 min of yoga to tag it in, then the pain of yoga for a week after from awkward sitting.

Nobody wants to do it around here, I had to go that route.

Any help to keep it plugged in or to stop it from coming off, would be “wonderful” to know, to keep it on, thanks. Sorry long post. I know it’s not smooth talk like you might have, but it’s true.

Sounds like you're not getting that wire clamp into the grove at the front of the lamp socket.

Everything is in, secure, it just started coming off.

The roads over here are bad.

The clamp for the lights are on good.

The plug could be just loose after like ten times coming off and having to snap it back, seems odd, though, one side.
