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...

think i can use electrical tape over it? or itll melt?

 

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

Your best bet is to just get a new headlight.

 

even if i get a new headlight.. i dont know how to hold the acura HID in place

basically it looks like this:




the black thingy is sticking out of the headlight socket and the clip cant go over it...

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.

 

Wrong Hid kit to put on your car&gt; you need an Hfour kit?
