Anyone else have loose bulb sockets?
88 Targa. The bulb sockets in the front and rear light housings seem to be pretty loose. Is this a common problem? What can I do to fix it?

I cut a thin strip of metal and wedged it in between one loose housing I had.

You can cut some tin foil into strips a little less wide than the bulb and wrap around it.

Since I had a parts car, I swapped tail light housings.
