Default Low beam bulb clip missing. HID time?

I got my new h7 bulbs in the mail today. Went to install the passenger low beam and realized the spring clip that holds it in was missing. No wonder it looked so bad! I doubt I'll find one of those unless someone has a broken headlight assembly to part out. Or, HID time? I looked at tons of threads before I bought these bulbs and decided not to mess with that. Would I need that clip to hold if I convert to HID?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue when I upgraded to HIDs the thing is the HID bulbs still use the factory spring. A previous owner had replaced the bulbs and lost the spring, I actually used a heavy duty paper clip and tried to bend it as close as possible. Its not pretty by any means but its not going anywhere.

I have at least two, $5 each shipped. I recover them from broken assemblies.

If MrMopar can't find any more, shoot a PM to maxcichon, he might have pity on you.
( don't tell him I sent you, or he probably won't reply ..... )
