Default Foglight Ground Wire Broke

Car is an EM1 with DEPO foglight kit.. One of the retainer brackets inside the bulb housing, that holds the bulb retainer down tight, broke off it's plastic piece that the screw goes into =( so now I can't screw down the retainer because that whole piece broke off.. How can I ground out the light bulb now..?? I'll post a pic if necessary..

well this isn't my exact light because I don't feel like taking my bumper off again for the 3rd time today but check it out...

Ok so see the metal clip that holds the lightbulb down..??

On the right hand side there is a screw that screws down and holds that metal clip in place and a blue ground wire attached to it... Well that piece of plastic that the screw goes into, broke on mine... So I can't screw down that ground wire or the metal clip, which in turn holds the light in place...

PROBLEM FIXED..!! lol new lights were shipped out today.. Mine were a bit fogged up, and one retains water when it rains, so I guess instead of fidgiting with this $hit I thought I'd just buy new lights altogether and be easier.. PasswordJDM = aches/pains to my wallet...

you might also wanna invest into some clear silicon sealant for the lenses because the ones i bought from them still collected water even though they were brand new. they are not sealed very well
