Default Headlight Help

I am in need of some assistance. I have a broken retaining clip that holds the high beam bulb in place. Dealer did some research and found I will need to purchase the whole headlight assembly....$534. I was wondering if any member might have an extra assembly that had been damaged and replaced. I checked a couple of bone yards with no luck. Bulb is semi secure for now but don't know how long. THANKS

try Ebay, sometimes some are also available that have been changed out under warrantee. Is yours out of warrantee?
