How can I fix this light issue?

It looks as if a reflector or bulb holder...not sure what to call it has come loose in my 2006 911. Is this something I can repair? If so, how do I get in there? Thanks for any assistance.

If you have the owners manual there is a plastic "Porsche" card in the business card holder of the cover. This is the light removal tool and has some pictures on the rear of the card showing how to remove the light. Not sure if you can access that piece from the rear once its out but you might be able to fix it through the hole the bulb goes into.

Agree - remove the light and see if you can fix it. If not, would be a good excuse to get LED lights =)

this is how I removed mine - followed these instructions

I have a near new replacement fog light from Suncoast I'd let go for cheap if you are interested. My driver's side was cracked when I bought the car. Replaced just that side then two months later upgraded to LED's. The replacement OEM one is sitting on my shelf in a box.

PM me if interested.

I only have the driver's side (left). The passenger's side was sold some time ago.
