    Hey Guys,
    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I need the headlight lamp retaining clip for the passenger side. It's the "wire" ( for lack of a better term) spring that holds the bulb in place. I've looked everywhere and I'm not really close to a junk yard to pull one. Dies anyone have a part number or idea where I could get one?

    Get a junk set of headlights from someone and pluck the wire off.

    This came up a while back in another thread with the same results: the OEM P/N is available on eBay for stupid money, and just about nowhere else.
    But the $34 clip is on sale at 60% of the original price, so it’s a steal!

    For future reference, the retrofit folks are likely to have a bunch of these.
