Default A few questions regarding Headlamps

Thank you in advance for responding.

I recently lost one of the clips that hold the bulb in place. I looked everywhere and it just disappeared and since problems come in threes it rained. Now I have moisture behind the lens.

Can this be fixed and if so how? Where can I find replacement clips? I have seen here where the clips are not a separate item for purchase. Is there anyway to work around that?

If I lost one of my clips I would take out the other one as a sample and make another one with a piece of spring wire and some pliers.

You might want to see if you can find a magnet or some kinda magnetic tool that you can get into the headlamp assy. with & fish around in there for awhile. Several other members have had luck in doing so. Most of the time the clips come zipping off & drop right into the assy. itself.
Beyond that, 180's idea of manufacturing your own might be the only way to go.
Good luck & let us know what happens!!
