Rear tail light holder issues

As for both rear fogs not working, that indicates a much bigger problem with the driver.

Hi particlewave! First, I want to say thanks for posting this over a year ago; I'm having this exact problem in that location causing my brake light to not work intermittently. Do you (or anyone reading this) know what size screw you are using to secure that strip? I'd prefer your solution but if I can't find a tiny screw, I'll just use electrical tape to tighten the strip down by wrapping it around. Do you think that would be safe as well (I'm hoping electrical tape = non-conductive)?

Thanks and happy new year everyone!

If I recall, someone on the forum said, "If both sides were burning, drivers behind you may have a hard time distinguishing the brighter Fog Lights from brake lights."

And as it is, Boxster owners driving with their fog lights on get pulled over by law enforcement for having a tail light out. You can't win.

I just grabbed a screw from my loose screw bin that was long enough...not really sure what size it was.
