The last time my car was in the shop for bodywork it was to intall the wire mesh on my front bumper. Well, what I didn't realize until yesterday was that during the process, they lost my retainer clips for my headlights. So they glued the retainers on! This was all fine for awhile because i didn't even notice....until the glue wore off! Now they're almost falling off.
Anyway, if you don't know what i'm talking about here's a picture. Its the small aluminum piece that holds the rubber retainer to the assembly. I contacted 1sttoyotaparts and although they have the part listed, there's no price listed. So i sent them an email and they told me, get this, that I had to buy the whole headlamp assembly to get them clips. These things are small aluminum POS that are worth 2 cents! Does anyone know where i can get them? Thanks.

Are these the same small clips that hold the headlight down tight? I think I have a few extra if that is what they are. I know the parts that I am talking about are on the high beams too so I am not sure if these are the right parts.
The little clip in the top right corner of the light. Is that what you need?  How many do you need? This post has been edited by ETNRIDER: Jul 9, 2008 - 3:54 PM --------------------  |

there's only one clip that holds the rubber seal to the headlamp at the top center, the rest of the clips just clamp the headlamp glass to the housing...
you don't really need them unless your headlamp glass is gonna come off... and you can use glue (which works better than those damn clips) to secure the rubber seal around the headlamp. and i checked but they're right, these clips aren't available separately... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
