Default Fog Light Bulbs wont snap back on. Help

I thought I broke something because the first replacement won't go on. So I made sure I was careful taking off the other and I actually got it off and tried to put the same one back on and it will not.

Is there a trick to snapping it on? Have any of you had this issue?

Yup...I saw that. Not sure why they are not holding. I think one is, but I am afraid to shake too hard. Did it just a little.

I'm lining it up and pushing to snap, but they don't. So I snap one side then the other but no luck. I pushed and squeezed the tabs to snap and then release no luck.

Supposedly I ordered the one on the right. Will check tabs like you suggested.



its a 2011 crew lux. gonna go pull the leds out now and take photos side by side. but i did look and they seem to be the same with the tabs in the same location. i might have to press in a little harder as i couldn't get the stocks back on. and i looked up close and nothing seems to be broken where the tabs snap.

Got them on but they are easier to come off then when I took the stocks off. Gonna bring it to a light shop and have them secure it better. I think it will hold for the most part, but still no where near as hard to take off.

In my camaro this was a 2 minute job. LOL
