Default Wrecked cars needed

If anyone knows of a junkyard that has a wrecked crossfire will you please let me know their number or address. Need a few parts that I can't find in the marketplace on here. If you're reading this and have two spare headlight bulb clips then you just solved my problem but I'd still appreciate info on any wrecked cars. Thanks guys

My good friend "Shibing" used these:

Amazon.com: Trussing Needle - 8-Inch: Kitchen Tools: Kitchen & Dining Amazon.com: Trussing Needle - 8-Inch: Kitchen Tools: Kitchen & Dining

and some needle nose pliers to bend them into shape.

If you remove the entire head light and shake it, you might find the clip has fallen inside.

For a moment there I thought you were going to say he sewed the bulbs into place.
maxcichon sells clips he makes, $8 each I believe. The OP should contact him.

I also am missing the pass. Side clip. I thought it might be inside the headlight. Are the instructions on this site for removing the headlight? Is it difficult?

Pretty sure all you do is take some bolts out from the top and bottom and then pull the bumper out a little so the light has room to slip through. A lot of people say you have to take the bumper off, but you don't.

One of the bottom ones you can reach inside the engine bay.. the other one.. pull the side marker out and you can access it. Also remove the facia bolt at the top by the radiator.. it give you more flex to push down on the bumper. I slipped a micro fiber towel in between to keep from any scrapes as it is a tight fit coming out.

It helps to also remove the 2 hollow adjustment thingeys on the bottom of the light assemblies.
When reinstalling, get the light in and start the adjustment thingeys back in the holes,
position the light ( after reconnecting the harness and installing the marker light ),
tighten up the top 2 light bolts, then
screw the adjusters up until they just contact the mounting flanges, then secure with the bottom 10mm bolts.

Does anyone have a spare door pull handle? Mine snapped off today and the front cover broke in half when I tried to pull it apart, so that thing is toast. Shoot. They are so cheaply made, it actually sickens me.

Mine works fine, Your car may have been subject to abuse and got weakened by slight cracks. Everything breaks if you abuse it enough.
I'd say sell your car as it seems like a lemon.

I would but I'm scared I wouldn't get enough for it. 5k or 6k is probably all id get with all the crap that's wrong with it.

If I could get 7k I'd go for an even swap with some I've seen on AutoTrader. Saw one for 8k with 50k miles and a super clean interior plus it was a manual. Man I'd love to have her
