I don't think it matters, but I drive a 2005 Base model Crossfire Roadster. Anyone know where I could get just that little metal clip without having to replace the whole headlight assembly? If the only option is to replace the whole bloody thing, I'll super glue it in place.
Thanks.
Do not super glue, you can always try to find one in a junk yard. I did find one in TN somewhere and he wanted 100 for the assembly and wouldn't part with the clips...he knew I had little choice. Fortunately for me, the lights developed some sort of mold problem in the high beam area I mine were replaced under warranty. I did manage to get some of the clips but have to find them; hopefully they didn't go out when I partially cleaned the garage. In the mean time send me a PM with your info and I can look and maybe get you one.
For everybody else, if have a good relationship with your dealers and have to have these assemblies replaced due to warranty reasons, try to get the maint shop to give you the clips and rubber caps and old light bulbs out of the old ones. The reason for the clips and caps is obvious, but you might want to have the lights as spares in case you ever have one go out.
