Being a dingus I broke the plastic clip retainer on my 2013 TRD sport while changing bulbs. Used this idea without an issue. Glad I didn’t have to buy a new housing

Thank you for this. In a hurry before it got dark outside I tried removing the wrong side of the spring and the plastic snapped. I’ll go this route this weekend when I have more time.
