    Hi everybody I'm looking for a part in the headlight assembly. The headlight bulb is held in with a little wire retainer, between the bulb and the rubber boot. I changed the headlight bulbs recently, and one side had the retainer and the other didn't. Any idea what this part is called and where I could find one? No luck on the toyota parts website, nothing shown on the headlight parts assemblies.

    Sounds like you should just go ahead and part the truck out. :anonymous:

    The part is referred to as a Bulb or Headlight Retainer clip.
    Amazon has them.
    Any salvage yard would probably give it to you.
