I had the same problem with mine and I bought some clips from my local Nissan dealer. They are rectangular with "teeth" on the inside. I took the bumper off and pressed the clips over the plactic tabs until they turned inside out - ie the teeth were facing upwards and biting into the plactic tabs. The clips were fairly cheap and I have not had a problem since - even after some serious off road trips.
The problem is that very often you will bust off some of the plastic tab/tounges that those metal jaw clips push onto, then your stuffed ,I knocked my lights out about 3 times off roading, and had already replaced the light surrounds.
What i ended up doing with mine, was to drill a small hole in each corner of the plastic surround (inside where you cant see from the outside) then used cable ties to pull the surrounds in snug (then refit the lens)
The beauty of the cable ties is, the next time you scrape the bum, the cable ties allow a fair bit of flex/movement , my lights have never fallen out again, once i hit mine so hard it bent the metal on the lower rear gaurd, but the light remained secure.
And at the worst, if you do pop a light, its dead easy to keep a few cable ties in the glovebox, and re-fit it in 2 min, just before you have to drive home. :animierte-smilies-t

I'm new to the site so I don't know if we can discuss price, however I'm willing to let mine go for less. The main problem would be getting it out of the truck as I'm full of arthritis. If your still interested, email me and we'll try an work out a solution. Cheers
