    Hello,

    I put the Diode Dynamics on my truck and the lights are ok for me.

    The issue is that they go into the Stock Housing and the Housing is all Loosey Goosey due to no brackets etc.

    What options you guys have installed etc.

    thanks

    I'm installing some DD SS3 Pros this weekend, so I'll have to figure out how to get them mounted up so they don't move.
    Apparently its a common/known issue... most folks run a ziptie through the housing and bracket to some other bracket underneath there and it firms it up. My passenger side factory fog shakes visibly so I know its an issue already.

    My oem fog housings shook when the truck was brand new. A few heavy duty zip ties around the bumper brackets and they do t move anymore. Should we have to do this to fix the fogs? No. Is it easier than going to the dealer and having them install the exact same plastic housing that will shake again? Yes.

    Agreed about the zip ties. The housing is known to be looser on the plastic caps than on the chrome ones.

    I put a couple of dabs of clear silicone to the metal tabs that hold the housing and than ran a small bead around the housing. Now mine are tight and don’t move at all.

    Thanks for the response and I have zips on the lights with mounting bracket. My Housing that fits into the Bumper is moving all over the place.

    Maybe some Silicone will help

    I just installed DD Pro's and ran two zipties from the bracket to the truck. The fog light bezel moves no more.
