Fog light rattle
Alright...I'm sure at least some of you have factory fog lights on your car. I'm even more sure that at least some of those that do have shaky ones.
Is there any 'right' way to fix them, to keep them from shaking so much? I've thought about just kind of...wedging something under/above them...but that's tacky, and half-assed, which isn't how I like to do things. Is there any way to keep the brackets themselves from rattling? Bolts are all tight, but...haha, it's an 18 year old car with a V8 and full exhaust, it has a bit of a physical grumble to it, which translates to the fog lights.
Anyways, I searched for shaky foglights and didn't come up with anything, so if anyone has an trick to keep them from doing it, I'd be much obliged.
Thanks.

You know the spring at the bottom of the housing? Add another one there, or just use a stronger spring. That worked well for me.

Re: Fog light rattle
Hm...not having one of those would probably explain the shaking haha.
Never knew there was supposed to be one there, thanks for the tip.
