that could work potentially, its just a wire twisted in a "bracket" shape,
not sure if the wiring in the paper clip is strong enough

Dealer or junk yard.

Go to the dealership. It shouldn't be too expensive. If it is, just try and ask the parts guy if you can get some discount off the part. :)

more specifics about the car please

E90?
E46?

in anycase, the retainer clip doesn't seem to be available seperately. However, I'd stop by a dealer to see if they have any junked headlights that you can take the clip off.

yeah went to the dealership, showed me the exact picture, they don't carry that part separately, gave me an address to go to the junkyard, grabbed one for a few $ ..
thanks everyone
