    Lost headlight spring retainer clip.

    Lost headlight spring retainer clip.

    Lost the spring retainer for the headlight bulb. Looking at the microfiche it doesn't seem to be available separately. Has anyone found a successful replacement? Or can someone post a picture for theirs so I can attempt to match it.
