The clips are to hold the lense NOT the rubber to the housing, only for the lows though, as for the highs the rubbers attach to the bumper.

There are clips for both the lens and the rubber gasket on the low-beam light. They appear to be the same, and you can get them from a dealer. However, the ones that hold the rubber do nothing to protect the integrity of the light. They merely help keep the rubber in place, which serves to keep road dirt from getting in around the light. The clips and rubbery goopy glue (don't get overwhelmed by my use of technical terminology wink.gif ) that hold the lens on keep the inside of the light dirt free.
