Hi,

My right headlight work intermittently or works if I bang the headlight, the reason for which I discovered being that the clip which keeps the bulb pressed in is missing.

Am I right in thinking that when the bulb is pushed up against the headlight it makes contact and the light works, but when it isn't making contact the light doesn't work as the circuit is broken, right? This is what it seems to be doing.

That's what's meant to happen right?


Can the clips be bought separately, as Cotswolds say they only come with the headlight itself and can't be purchased separately?
Can it be removed from another headlight and fitted?

Has anyone got one?


It clip in question looks something like this (E30 version of course):

If not I do have a scrap lamp I could post you a clip from. The clip is fine but the aluminium hook has broken. :cens:
