<VV> Late model brake light sockets

[Frank DuVal]

If you want to keep the original looking sockets, and can put up with a 
screw head where it shouldn't be, I've had good luck putting a #4 sheet 
metal screw through the plastic housing to hold that darn ground shell 
in place. Maybe paint the screw head so it doesn't stick out visually.

A nice quick fix when a friend stops by with a tail light problem. No 
need to go to the store.
