Default help me out guys please lol rear interior leds

Hey guys quick question I have a 2000 blazer lt and I have replaced the rear interior lights with LEDs but they pop out all the time (my 15s vibrate them out )my question is I have tried drilling a hole through the metal tabs but I can't get a hole drilled into them ? Is there any other way to keep them from falling out ? Pushing tabs inwards doesn't help either any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd solder them in. It'll be a pain to remove later, but they shouldn't come out.

I may not be understanding fully and this may be a silly suggestion... but can you not take a piece of electrical tape and wrap it up? keep-it-simple-stupid type of thing ya know? sometimes we all overthink the little things.

Mine has a hole drilled in the spring. The light looks kinda an old euro fuse.
