Fog light unit fell out again. This time the whole housing fell off. I do not believe it was properly secured. The one mounting point was broken off the bumper cover. The shop refused to attempt any repair. Right now it's just sitting in on the debris shield. No idea if it is still functional as I need to replace the entire unit again (top bracket plastic clip broke too).
