Driftknight. please take you head out of your a** and do you own searching and work. By all means I want to see people get help, but you constantly make threads like this looking for someone else to do the work and effort for you.

I gave you a parts site with exploded views. So did blacksrjdm. Go there, look at the pics and figure it out.

after reading this. it sounds like you are missing the little clip that holds the bulb in. its a little goldish clip. look at courtesyparts or another parts site im sure you can find it. that or hit up a junk yard

If its the clip, that isnt available separately, head to the junkyard. If you look in the picture there, it doesnt show the clip, the clip comes with the headlight assembly. I am sure of that.

whats with the title Drift Knight, you cant even keep your headlights on the car, i couldnt imagine you "drifting"

As mentioned before, do more research. one attempt isnt always going to give you an answer. Glad you figured it somehow.

Oh, imagine that, another thread started by DriftKnight! I would have never guessed.

Dude, you really need to start "searching" and find yourself a FSM for your car. I also had the same problem but mine was a little worse and I had to use a Dremel on mine and create my own means of holding the bulb in place by tapping a new screw hole. I didn't post anything about it nor did I create a thread on any forum about it. Why didn't I post anywhere??? Because I did the research myself and I handled it on my own.
