Default Broken Clip on headlight

The clip that holds the bulb into place for my passenger side headlight is broken (the clip that holds the bulb into place). Besides going to a junkyard and looking for a spare, is there anything else I can do to hold it into place?

Basically the plastic thing that holds the clip into place broke... so I wont be able to use any clip even if i found one at the junkyard. Any recommendations?

The picture on the left still has the clip between the plastic piece and the screw to hold it into place. the picture on the right side is missing that plastic piece (it broke off). I was wondering if I can just be ghetto and use duck tape or electrical tape to hold it into place. I dont want to buy new headlights though...

It might not melt, but it's definitely going to make a sticky mess.

Your best bet is to just get a new headlight.

You need to do a retrofit. That little black piece is of no concern. You're going to have to put a projector in your headlight for it to work.
