I use Permatex black silicone I get from the automotive store to hold my lights in place and secure the wires to the body and frame.

Hot glue is easy just remember to hold the light in place and blow the hot glue a little to cool it off or the light will move on you a bit.

I agree with dabears, sounds like a broken wire or broken solder right at the lights that are acting up? The fog lights stay in place well with the metal backing plate and yes I use the good old glue gun, all my trailer marker lights are plus the wires a couple inches from the light.

welp after digging into it deeper even hot glue wouldnt work on my turn signal unless i pushed real hard. so since i dont have 3 hands(glue gun, push,hold wire)i cut wire skinned back rubber boot and resold the wires back on to pig tails for a forsure fix but pain in ***. the glue forsure helped on all other lights just this one was gone couldnt save her. because of this i now know how to solder (rookie pace) and hot glue gun a must in this hobby! thanx fellas
