Unhappy Black Headlights problem

okie.. I installed my blackheadlights today that i bought off a member here.
well, the main socket to put the h4 bulb doesnt have the steel bracket bar to hold it in.. do I just put the condom like thing over it and leave it?? also.. the driver side blinker socket wont screw in to place.. its soo loose and now its starting to fog.. but the passenger doesnt. its snugg.. same deal with the parking lights.. its not foging up alot but near the bottem.. and suggestions??

if your looking for after market projectors then TYC's are the best way to go. They never fog up, the are legal, and all the bulbs fit in there correctly.

yes TYC are the best my friend has them, but the only thing that didn't like was the orange turn signal, but they meet the standards
