Default driver tail light

I have a problem with my driver tail light. It is loose at the top and still connected at the bottom. I can pull it away from the car at the top and see behind the housing, but it stays connected at the bottom. I have also noticed that when I wash the car, moisture gets in the lens and fogs up. I believe that it needs to be attached at the top, or the whole housing needs replacement. does any one have any ideas?

In the trunk behind the tailight there's some plastic nuts including the net hooks . Try tightening them. That's all that holds them in , plastic nuts

also the fogging means that the seal is broken on them so if ya want that to stop you have to reseal them or replace them

same thing happened on mine... except, the plastic part of the housing that contains the threads actually broke off... the plastic nut still had the threads and piece of housing in it... I took everything apart and superglued the threads/housing piece back together with the housing, and so far, so good.

You can also use silicone (such as you find in a tube at Wally World) or an industrial adhesive to glue the housing back together.
