Check to make sure that the two little tabs go into the slots on the headlight housing, and that the little spring in the locking tab is still there -- DEPO have REALLY chintzy springs, you have to watch if they are Euros. Bosch and Hella are pretty good, but it's still likely the plastic is bad and the locking tab broke off... All the plastic up there gets brittle.

I have a couple spares from the 88 model if they fit and you need one (something about always doing damage to the left front -- Mom hit the trash man when he ran out from behind the trash truck, and I hit a deer on that side!).
