Default Loose foglight

While washing my car I noticed that my drivers side factory foglight is loose and wiggles all over the place. The other one is fine, and fits nice and snug. Can the loose one be adjusted, or do those ***** in the back only ajust the aim of the bulb

I know they just snap into place (I installed them myself) but they didn't seem loose when I first put them in. I don't want it rattling or shaking while I'm driving.

Peace

This is happening with my driver side fog also. I noticed that my AEM cai is rubbing against the rear of the fog lamp. This causes my fog to vibrate pretty bad (I can see it vibrating when I pull up to something with my lights on) and my air filter is dented from where it rubs the fog. I wish there was a way to adjust my cai so that it won't do this, but I think I'm just going to remove my fogs.

I have the injen short ram and I noticed that the filter is pretty close to the driver side fog... I hope that it isn't rubbing, I'll check... That could be it.

I didn't have an intake when I put in the fogs... hmmm

my filter on the injen short ram has a slight indent where the foglight hits it. Nothing that is a problem though. I have seen the same mark on another xB with the same setup.

This is actually pretty common. There have been several threads on it. I am not sure if a good fix has been made. I have the same problem and plan on hitting the dealer this week. If they fix it (they haven't twice) I'll let you know what they did.

Ditto, both of my fogs seem to be loose. They have been this way since I brought it home from the dealership so I thought that maybe they were supposed to fit like that. I guess after reading this thread, I will be stopping at the dealership to have them fixed.
