There is another thread somewhere on this. Mine did the same... no answer on how to fix it yet. I am going to try to get the dealer to repair under warranty. I will let you know how that goes.

Did you change out your bulbs at one point?

It happened to both mine after putting in aftermarket bulbs. The shrouds came loose because of the higher wattage/heat generated by the aftermarket bulb. I put the stock bulbs back in, and took it to the dealer and they replaced both fog light assemblies under warranty. Also, the new lights look a lot better since they do not have the foggy or dull chrome haze on the reflector like the originals. The glue that holds the shrouds in melted and both fell out, not to mention, the chrome reflector also melted a little. DO NOT upgrade the bulbs or this will happen, eventually.

Yea, I changed out my stock for the higher wattage Nokya's. I will definately put the stock bulbs back in before I take it back to the dealer. The lights work fine, but it looks like crap with the deflector sitting in the casing like that.
