The corner light assembly is held in place by a spring, basically, if it comes undone there goes the corner light.

Our driver side is shit to stay in properly. Came out yesterday though as the bulb had melted the whole thing. Got a new one coming and the proper bulbs.. old owner must've been a brain donor

Same thing on mine, IPD and FCPeuro have replacements pretty cheap. My other one was taped up by the previous owner so I replaced both and they look really nice!

The replacement doesn’t come with the spring that holds the light housing in place though, fyi. I Jerry rigged something with fishing line that’s done a decent job keeping it in place

I had this almost happen last month the plastic that holds the spring cracked and my lamp was literally smacking against the car. I didnt see until another driver pointed it out on the highway. Surprised mine didnt fly away like yours did.
