Is there a easy way to keep the tail lights in place once the clips broke off?

You are talking about the bumper tail lights? If you are, cable ties. The bumper tail lights screw into a plastic surround. On mine at least, the surround likes to come out of the bumper. Cable tie the surround to the bumper, leaving the light able to screw in still.

Use black cable ties (UV stabilised) and replace when broken or so (need to keep the packet in the car!)

After mine came out twice.

First time knocked the rear bumper on departure angle ( probably my fault it was a bit steep :1087: ) Replaced and tied in with magic string aka Zip ties.

Second time hit a puddle and the water pressure blew them both out -- Never found them again after that one :oops::oops:

I went and bought similar style from Super Duper Cheap and made a plastic surround which bolted to the inside of rear bumper then lights bolted into this. Next time they come out I will be missing the bumper as well.
