Anyone got a fix for the broken side marker light issue. They usually break, no matter how careful I am, when I need to change a bulb. The little plastic tab is undersized and gets brittle with age and heat.

Tape, adhesive and new are lower on the list.

If they break you're doing it wrong. You have to push it to one side(towards the front of the truck or the back, I can't recall) then pull it out.

How often are you changing bulbs?
I know you said buying another one is low on your list but I don't see how you are going to mend the old one and then keep it in place.
Just buy a new one, not a used one. done...

I know how to take them out, that is not why they broke.
Sorry, it sounded like you said they break when you take them out to replace a bulb. :unsure:
I don't think repairing your broken one will work. Probably just but a new one.
