OK, so I replaced my headlight bulbs Saturday, and after driving at night I noticed the PS light was higher than the DS. I removed the headlight again and noticed that I had destroyed the spring clip that retains the lower outside of the headlight assembly. Does anyone know the part number for this clip? I have looked on Tasca, and other parts diagrams, and nobody shows this clip. Thanks in advance!

You sure it’s nkt just the adjustment knob that moved? When I put my Diode dynamics SL1s in my headlights and high beams, I noticed the light pattern was off and found out the adjustment screw had been moved around on accident during install

Yup, pulled the headlight back out and the metal clip was a pretzel. Thanks for the reply 16plati. Sorry Chris, no # yet.

There is no part number for that. Its comes with the assembly only.

Best shot is to hit a junk yard or try an aftermarket source

Another thing I forgot to mention.. if you remove the one that is on there do not just pull it off. The plastic is slightly flared to keep these on, if you yank it off it wears down the wide area and they'll keep popping off. Use a dremel with a cut off wheel or a pair of dikes and cut the metal clip
