On the 508 I had to tape something under the light head to hold it in place. It's a disappointing 'feature' of the bar-mounted light.
Did you try tightening them? I think you need a tiny 2mm allen wrench. I had that on one set when I got my upgrade, tightened them and that was it. I have two pairs (wife also rides) and have 4+ years and a lot of miles on them, including 24hr/12hr mtb races and regular night riding. Also a lot of condtions (rain/mud/cold) and a few crashes. Never had any trouble. If they're not holding you should call Jet. They'll make it good.
"Entry-level" I think is a bit harsh, but Hey. I've heard a lot of complaints about Night Rider service, although they are the most popular. Haven't used L&M.
