I’m sure that this has been asked several times before but does anyone have a source for replacement headlight retaining clips

I pushed on my headlight the other day and all three clips bent the metal is very soft

Thanks

They are aluminum..... Bend them back, put them on then bridge 3 2in beads of silicone evenly spaced between the clips. If you ever need to change the bulb you just slice it with a razor blade... Da Bat

Thanks for the help

I seem to remember back in the day that the clips were stamped steel and a whole lot stronger

I straighten out the clips and remount the headlight and bent one clip while reinstalling the light I’ll add the silicone the next time

Mine are steel (received my kit Feb, 2017). I had a few snap in half. I called FFR and they sent me new ones, FREE!
