lost headlight bulb clip

pd52

Was changing my headlight bulb yesterday and the clip that holds in in place (looks like a bent paper clip) sprung out and is lost somewhere, looked everywhere cnt find it so the bulb is floating around inside the headlamp.

Anyway went to the parts dept in dealership to get another, and was told i would have to but a whole new headlight unit :eek: So ive decided to make my own but i dont know what to use, a paper slip will bend to much because this piece clip is a bit bendy. Any advice please?

take the other side clip off as as sample as it might well be that the same clip is used on different cars

try ebay.

whole new headlamp indeed. There is reason they call them main stealers

Pop down to B&Q and buy "Plant Support Galvanised Wire 20m" (20m being the shortest they had) for £3.

Then, get your wire cutters and needle-nose pliers out and start bending! I used the other clip as a template
