Default What hold the headlight bulb into the headlight?

my car didnt come with them and they tend to fall out and reduce my headlight vision ALOT. and i have been looking and found this picture of everything and was wondering if #10 was what held the bulb in. but by the picture the cover is behind the bulb, i thought that the bulb went into the circle peice with the harness and u turn it to lock it in? or am i wrong.

Someone who would know plz let me know :/
feel like a n00b.

im thinking its #10

Your headlights should have a metal clip on the back of them that hold the bulb in the right spot. Don't know if you can order just that but who knows

Number 10 is the bulb, number 4 is the rubber piece that covers all of it. Its a metal clip (looks like an oversized paperclip was bent to do the job.) Goto a junkyard and pull a head light, save yourself time and anguish.

The retainer clip isn't sold apart from the headlights. Either get the clips alone from a junkyard (PLEASE pay for them, otherwise it's theft) or buy a new set of headlights.

This thread has a pic of how it should look (one on the left).

I only mentioned the stealing because so many people think if it can fit in a pocket then there's no need to buy it from the salvage yard. I used to work at a salvage yard and that sort of thing really sucks.

Tbh, when I go up front and show them I took a handful of bolts too (I carry a bucket when I go in), I get the stuff for free anyway.
