If the light is spinning in the grommet, there is a tank on the light that has to be lined up with the groove in the grommet. If the grommet is spinning in the panel, then about the only thing you can do is glue (use weatherstrip adhesive) it in place.

I have had them in those grooves they still come out .They seem loose. The grommets are just supposed to squeeze the light. No other parts involved. I thought I might be missing a clip, spring or something.

Nope. That's all there is to it. If they are spinning in the grommet, then weatherstrip adhesive the light to the grommet. That's about all the ideas I've got.

Actually the grommet stays put and the light bulb spins. It seems the screen is moving ,vibrating quite a bit.

Yeah, that's what I said. The light bulb is spinning in the grommet. So.... glue it.

I hate my lights crooked too. None of them are, and if they get that way I fix them. I just don't have any that spin like your talking about. Oh, every now and again I have to straighten one. Like maybe once a year or something because it moved just a little and it bugs me. Only other thing would be replace the grommet.

I wonder if po doesn't have correct bulbs. I didn't look but I bet theres a number somewhere or dimension. This forum is so large I read for hours to find an answer. But I enjoy getting sidetracked

Once you get the lights aligned, put a "touch" of hot glue between the bulb and grommet in couple of spots.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
