Default 92 Accord headlight problem

Needed to change headlight bulbs. Those rotating locking rings are such a pain in the ### it's ridicules. Managed to get the passenger side done but got screwed trying to change drivers side. The low beam was really tight and I broke the rotating locking ring trying to force it with a flathead screwdriver. Can I get a replacement locking ring and how would I even put it on? Or is there any other way to secure the bulb?

Any help is appreciated

Hit up a junk yard. They come off. That's the only place you're going to be able to get one.

Wound up ordering a new locking ring from the dealership since it was only $5.00. Special order part though, won't be in until Tuesday. Right now the bulb is being held in place with Duct tape lol.
