Default Headlight Clip

Are there any tricks to replacing a passenger side low-beam healight clip?? I've used the dental mirror and needle nose pliars and am able to hook one side, but not enough room to clip in the other side. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

OK, so know you know what it looks like the rest is easy and you can do it in the dark.
Put your finger tip over the hinge that the clip sits in and with the clip aligned in your hand the way it sits in the headlight housing, slide the end of the clip under your finger tip and feel the direction the clip must move to enter the little slot. You can feel the end of the clip disappear under the hinge and come out the other side.
Repeat for the other end of the clip, reading this takes longer than inserting the clip.
