    I found the post of someone selling a kit to fix the lights, I posted in there, but haven’t gotten a reply. Do the kits really work, and where can I get one? I’ve got a light that’s getting loose.

    I did install one of Sky Hye's kits and am very satisfied. One light was very loose - was seeing post cracks on another light housing. Everything is rock solid now. There was another kit offered previously on FC, but as Zed82 noted, it only fixed 2 of the 3 posts. The soft bushings change the mounting position of the lights very slightly which worried me initially, but it's not noticeable (had the chance to compare with another 430 parked close by and I could not see any difference after the installation). The cross bar will interfere with the body work if you don't install the bushings.

    If you don't hear back soon, PM me and I'll give you his email address. Just not comfortable posting it here.

    To fix the single one, just cut back the post , drill and tap m6 and use a stud bar to attach it, done all 4 of mine and no problems in over 3 years

    I've installed thick rubber washers on all of the posts. vibration (of a flat plane engine) is what kills them imo.
