02 civic headlight spring
Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone knew what the metal "spring" type part is that you hook into place after inserting the bulb is called? Mine isn't working to right I dunno if it got bent or what's wrong with it but its a pain to try and get it back on. I was also wondering if anyone knew where I could get a replacement one? Thanks

IDK what the technically correct name is, but we call it a "bale clip" here in this shop.
Yes, they can be a PITA, especially when you can't see how it's supposed to latch.
It probably won't latch at all if the bulb isn't inserted exactly perfect.
