Headlamp retaining clip

Hi All
I don't suppose anybody has a spare headlamp retaining clip they are willing to let go? Its the one for the round headlight that the screw goes to to hold the lense into the bowl at the bottom.

Many thanks
Pooh

The Bosch ones are asymmetric for reasons best know to Bosch along with their choice of headlamp diameter!

These will do the same job even if you have to snip the legs to a more suitable length in a worst case scenario.

You could even go into your nearest garden centre and buy a packet of greenhouse glazing clips which are essentially the same thing.

Hi Gasa
its not the ones that hold the lamp in the bezel its the one at the bottom that the retaining screw goes into thats the problem, the one that hold the bezel into the headlamp bowl.

Thanks
Ian

I'm looking for one of these as well but they do not appear to be available seperately. Some BMWs with round light have them too. So far I drawn a blank though.
