1983 300td turn signal & tail light bulbs keep popping out

the title kind of says it all. 1983 300td--i don't know what to call the thing the lights twist into, but the tail lights and turn signal bulbs keep popping out of the sockets. any advice on keeping them in or will i have to get a new harness or whatever you call it? thanks

got it fixed

to fix this problem i just popped the metal plate out and used a pair of pliers to slightly pinch the clips that hold the bulb in place. while i was in there, i used some steel wool to clean up the connection points as well.

Congrats - I believe you were right in calling them sockets.
