I also have a set of ETarga's bulbs which I am very happy with. When I replaced the brake and indicator lights I had a hard time make the bulbs fit securely. I read were some guys put some electrical tape around the base of the bulb, but I had no success with this idea.
What I did to resolve the loose bulbs is to use solider and build up the very tip of the bulb, right at the source contact. It didn't take much and the result was perfect. The bulb now hits the spring loaded contact with a little more depth with the result being the bulbs fit tighter and don't lose contact when bumped. Now you don't need to mash them in.

Happy driving!!
Very good idea. I used a dental pic to reach into the sockets and pull the metal contacts out a little further.
