      Where to get headlight retaining clip???

      Being a newer owner I noticed at night the passenger headlight is not directed on the road where it should be...Also cause people were flashing me as if my high beams were on. So I looked last night when home, and noticed the metal retaining clip is missing from behind the bulb. So the bulb is just bouncing around in the housing.

      Anyone know were to only get the retaining clip? I don't need the whole housing, and the rubber boot is still good and intact.

      And yes I did do a few searches and found no posts about this particular question.
      I even checked gmpartsdirect.com and I can only buy the whole housing.

      Thanks for any info or part #'s

      Find the nearest U-pull salvage yard in your area. As long as it's located not too far away, these places can be a great source for many parts.

      I agree with avguy, you're going to need to head to a salvage yard. Most won't want to sell you just the clip. They'll want to sell the whole headlight assembly. If you find a pick and pull or u-pull yard you can get it for next to nothing, but you have to go pull it off the car yourself.

      Thanks guys! I looked and there are no Chevy Aveos in stock at the local U Pull & Pay, I actually got the drivers side clip from e-bay this morning @ 4am! Hope it works for the passenger side as well.

      This should be one of the standard H4 Bulb Retaining Clips, from Bosch, Hella or any auto lighting supplier. It is not peculiar to just this car. (If i'm wrong tell me)
