Alright it has only happened twice, but the first time I was going 60 or so and bottomed out really really bad and so I pulled over to see if I broke my front end but the only thing that happened was the clear corner fell out. Second yesterday I was going maybe 100 or so and when I got home it was off. Did you guys do anything to keep yours from comming off?

Mine both fell out along with my fog lights when I creamed this dead deer laying in the middle of the road on Rt. 80 going 75mph. The thing hit right in the middle of the bottom lip of my bumper. I thought for sure it was cracked but all that happened was all my lights fell out.

What I did with my lenses was to put double sided tape on the back of them. Not the kind like scotch tape but the thick kind like emblem tape. What this did was to help the lense stick to the bumper and also it helped the clip hold them in place by making the fit tighter. My front-end isn't as flexible as the stock one but I still had some probs with my lenses falling out. After I did this they never fell out again.

mine did that all them time with my first kit, but i solved it pretty easily, i bought a bumper with no bumper lights in it. but if you keep them you could try bending the metal clips a little farther out so that they hold the light in tighter. http://www.geocities.com/blue2gnt

Everytime I take mine out I put some clear silicon adhesive on the tabs. The stock ones fall out too if you take them out too much. They wont fall out with the adhesive but can still be popped out with a screw driver (dont use JB weld hehe).

right after i got my car i hit a deer. when i got out nothing happened except the stock driverside corner fell out and there was deer snot and hair everywhere. any way i just snapped it back in and went on. when i got my clears they kept falling out for like a week so i just kept putting them back in and eventually they just stayed. i really cant explain why. i just thought id tell my story

Mine fell out ALL the time when I had stock lens and bumper. What I ended up doing was putting some eletrical tape on the tap so that the fit would be tighter. Then when I put it in, I would hit the bumper and lens really hard in all sorts of ways to make sure it was in tight. Mine fell out without speeding, just occasionally for no reason...but my clear corners haven't done that yet.
