Hey, where can I buy those clips that hold the headlight housings in. I'm talking about those little metal clips that look like they're made to be removed with snap ring pliers. I broke four out of six of them while removing my headlights and need to replace them. I have not yet attempted to find them, so any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

I don't know where or if you can get them, but those things suck getting out of there don't they!

 

Lots of breaking. I could tell that none of those had been removed since the truck was assembled in 1996. They were solidly rusted in place. The breakage was necessary.

 

i ended up having to get mine on ebay in a 25 pack.... if you want pm me your address and ill send you however many you need. i wont ever use all 25

 

Well, I pretty much need them tomorrow. If I don't have any luck tomorrow, though, put me down for six, lol.

 

I found them locally. Sanders Supply is where I finally located them. It's an automotive paint supply shop.

 

glad you got them local i looked everywhere here and couldnt find them.. ended up having to order them. i only needed 1 had to get 25 haha

 

Here's a long shot...on the chance you're still active on this thread, I sure would like to buy 4 of those retainer clips...gonna change the headlights on my '01 F250...when I did the change on my '96 F150, I broke 4 of the 6 clips, so I need to get these before I start the new project - how much would you be asking? Thanks - chubmanjoe
