Tricks for Fixing Shaking Rally Lights

So I've read on this forum where some other folks have noticed their OEM rally lights seem to shake/rattle/wobble going down the road. I notice it too when I have them on at night. Has anyone discovered any MacGyver tricks for steadying the rally lights?

probably you do not have the extra support piece, provided in the OE kit, installed. I seldom see them . .

see pages 14 and 15 of the install instructions

This provided an additional brace to the back of the light housing to reduce shake.

You can easily duplicate it.

Thanks for posting the installation instructions. I'll see if I can come up with something like that support piece.
