SES Light Bulb

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but here it is.

Has anyone had a problem with the bulb for their SES light? I took apart the dash to check it out because the light wasn't coming on and I found that the plastic that holds the bulb in place is worn down and doesn't hold it tightly. I tried some electrical tape to hold it in place and it worked, until I put everything back together and now it is loose, and flashes whenever I hit a bump in the road. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get it to stay tightly connected? Or would I be better off swapping out the whole panel?

At least I was able to check my codes before the light went out again.

Try replacing the socket with a new one.
