    So I have had ARB fog on my bumper for a couple months now and I keep having issues with the screws with the spring that hold them in place keep popping off. So today when it popped off again i checked to see what the issue was, I just the screw just came undo over time with bumps here and there, but it seems the hole where the screw goes in on the light is somehow stripped. It just slides ride out with little pressure (including the spring) Anyone have this problem? If so is it a easy fix? Thanks. Images attached.

    Swap the screw with a machine screw and put a nut on either side of the plastic.

    You should be able to access the nuts from underneath the bumper. One side gives you a stop to replace the stripped plastic and the other side lets you tension it against the mounts.

    It'd look like this ||========||=||==== if that makes any sense.
