Looking for an alternative to purchasing a new headlight module ... Lost the headlight retainer clip. Apparently they are not for sale anywhere and the service center wants to sell me a whole new module for over $300... Does anyone know of a source for getting replacement retainer clips or even manufacturing replacement clips, or perhaps a set whire shaping tools that would facilitate making one of my own?

Thanks,

Fergie

Fergie!

Give us a call at SMART MADNESS 562-981-6800, we may have a couple here in stock for you and if not? We can definitely get them for you because we have for customers before. They're not rare :)

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess the dealers were never going to tell me the truth... seeing as they stood to make $300 instead of a few dollars... Will call Monday... Can you give me a cost figure? I would like to get two if I may. Even though I will now put newspaper or a towel or something int the service compartment, below the lights when working on them, things can still go wrong...

Thank you very, very much.

I accidentally posted on your page. Just in case, call to speak to Art at the shop. I just placed it on his desk and to your door is less than 5. bucks.

Have a great weekend!

No problem.

One is awesome. One is what a really need.... I am going to use it as a template to see if I can make my own. The wire doesn't look all that different from some coat hangers I have in my closet and if that doesn't work I will go to Home Depot and see if they have anything the proper gauge.

It seems almost inefficient to use my credit card for $5. I will peruse your site and see if there is anything else I need/want and get back to you.
Thanks again.
