Hi Guys,

My headlights have this clip on them and i've managed to lose one.
I've been having a search but not seeing one with quite the same profile, any ideas?



Thanks
andy

If you have a motor parts direct near you they stock some bulb spring clips

Get one similar and snip it/bend to shape?

That'd be my approach - to try and bend a bit of wire to shape. Vice and pliers should do the trick.

On another note, these things are the work of Satan himself, especially when it's a German car and you need 18 elbows to get the bloody things to latch...
