OK heres the ultimate answer to this conundrum. regardless of the size, locking or not, old or new type bezel, duct tape the holes. It is cheap, supplies never run out, your lights are only on at night (when you are driving) so no one will see them, no need to bust a gut trying to save the plastic thingies that you glued or siliconed into place. the only other thig to say is..............Taa-Daa!!!!!

I would just replace the whole bezel and plug with the newer version that locks in place. When I had my '99 I had the same problem and the dealer made the swap for me - no more lost plugs.

Sarcasmfrom Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmos), 'mockery, sarcasm' is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound[1] — stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's fantastic" to mean "that's awful". It is used in a humorous manner, often harshly, and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger[2] or annoyance. Sarcasm can also be used situationally for e.g. "the couch is so big" when referring negatively to the fact that the couch is actually small.
