    I use heat shrink around the lamp holder and the led. They never pop out and it leaves a nice clean look.

    Quoted from Baiter:

    Since I find dead LEDs on occasion, electrical tape sounds like a better idea to me.

    Yep that works, so does hot glue both good ways to do it. I started using heat shrink after i pulled a prong out of the lamp holder using electric tape. I know that was probably rare but it happened and me without a rivet press. I tried hot glue once it worked but i really like the finish look of the heat shrink so i roll with that. It does cut off easy with just a little slice from a razor knife.

    So take that for what it is and do what works best for you.
