mk6 escort. need help regarding the rear lights.
i have just recently bought a new set of smoked rear lights for my escort mk6. however the mechanism that holds and powers the bulbs does not fit and does not clip and stay in place on the back of the light. any ideas? maybe somewhere i can buy new bit or whether it just aint gonna fit. so cut a long story short, the bulbs dont not stay in the casing. my standard escort fitment hold 4 bulbs and my new set only hold 3 bulds.
any help would be very appreciated.
thanks in advance

Can only assume those lights and 3 bulb holders are for cars that dont use a fog light?
As you need 4 you will have to mod your old holder and poss the light to house them?

rite i have uploaded some new pics of the prob i got. one of the lights has space for 4 bulbs and the other ( new set) only have space for 3 bulbs. i didnt recieve the bulb carrier for my new lights and was just wonderin whether i could possibly get a new one or they goin to be a nightmare to get hold of. Or could i cut the conector off and just wire up some lightbulb conectors? would be grateful if anyone has any other ideas. dont realy wanna haevto get rid of theses lights.
thanks in advancde

did you buy these 2nd hand
reason i ask is when i bought my mondeo it had some lexus style lights but used similar style bulb holders and not the originals you have
the only way your going to fix that is contact the company who made the lights and see how much its going to cost you for the bulb holders, if you bought the lights new then they should of come with the bulb holder
