Default Broke the tab on my parking lamp assembly. . . $%^&&$#$%^&#

Broke the damn tab on my parking lamp today when I was replacing a bulb. That has never happened before, and I'm glad because I am pissed. I have to drive 7 hours tomorrow. Any suggestions on how I can rig it up until I can get to my extra set of lights? Cheer me up with some ideas boys "and girls"

Use some thin wire and drill a hole in the tab and run it back into the core support and tie it to something, seen that done before.

Well I've been working quite a bit, that career thing is a new ball game for me. I can't get on during the day in class like I used to. haha And, well it's deer season so you know what kind of tail I've been chasing.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I may have to tape it for now, but I was looking at it before and thought about drilling a hole and using wire ties. I just hope it stays in place for the trip back home.
