Taillight Problem

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with their taillight bulbs. I have stock bulbs installed (where the red part of the lens is) and they keep coming out of the socket. I haven't been pulled over yet, but a couple Max drivers have thankfully told me that my taillights were out. If anyone has this problem please let me know what the best fix is. I'm thinking about taping them in because I hate having to get behind the trunk panels every month or so.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried turning it after you install the bulb? it shouldn't come out...probably a broken piece.

It's not that it falls out of the housing (it is turned and locked into it). Its that the bulb slides out of the harness/socket. The bulb itself can't be turned because its a wedge type bulb (not like the the turn signals which turn and lock into the socket).
