This may be urban legend for all I know, so take it with a grain of salt. I've read on some forum that the lighter sockets in Porsches are slightly larger than US versions. Hence, the loose fit. As another poster suggested, pry the clips out a bit for a snugger fit.

PS: best of luck on the court thing. I've tried the selective enforcement argument and it only got me so far. It raised some doubt in the court's mind so that my other arguments regarding an unsafe lane change carried more weight where the traffic offense was a judgment call on the officer's part. On the other hand, maybe you'll get lucky and the trooper wont show. If he does show and has radar evidence, it will be really tough to beat. If the judge cuts you some slack, he'll most likely reduce the fine but still find you guilty.
