    Looking to order a 2001 headlight retainer spring but I don't know the exact part number to look for for. Anyone know or where to find it?

    I think you're pretty much SOL. Don't think that is available as a standalone part. The rubber cover/boot should keep it in place but its going to jiggle a bit I imagine. As an alternative to buying a new OEM headlamp, might be able to grab one of those cheap knockoffs on ebay or Amazon and switch out the retainer that way. Some of those non-oem housings are around 30 bucks.
