Go get one from a junkyard. Shouldn't be more than a couple bucks.

They're a pain in the ass to take off with the headlight in the car at the junkyard
try to find a headlight lying around off a car or one easy to remove
Take a flat head and pop the little clips ( should be obvious when you're looking at it )
Pop them off and stick them in your pocket. Good to go

yea those are pain to take off but i think if you go to the jy it depends howthey are will try and sell u the entire assembly but when mine broke i took it from another all you have to do it turn it till it get real loose and then gently take off imo if you doont use the flst head screw driver properly you could damage it and then it wont hold the bulb firm enough which causes the shock absorber feature to fail while driving.

Yup, nearly impossible to take off when they're in the car.
To replace them is simple as popping them off and snapping them on though.Comment
