Yes, me too until I pulled the bulb out.

I'm guessing that the bulb is a 1157 or something like that If it is you can get one of these to fix it. https://www.autozone.com/electrical-...B&gclsrc=aw.ds any auto parts store can help you. If nothing else buy the kit and use the spring with your connectors.

askitee -- I assume your problem is bulb-to-socket tension not socket-to-fixture tension.
Disconnect trailer from Spyder, then remove socket from fixture and bulb from socket. Deep in the center of the socket you will see a nickel-plated tongue. Using a small screwdriver, carefully pry the tongue upwards about 15 degrees. Test the bulb tension. If still a bit loose, pry up another 15 degrees. Be careful -- you do not want to break that tongue off.
Because I never was able to find an aftermarket socket.

Curious if carefully adding solder to base of bulb would work. Unfortunately would also have to be done to any additional replacements , but just a redneck thought. (Solder would be soft & subject to vibration probably would not last long)

If it is indeed an 1157 bulb, just Google "socket for 1157 bulb". They are commonly available.
