WTB: E90 Headlight Retaining Springs/Clips

E46 M · 04-28-2013, 08:30 AM

This might be a weird request but I bought an E90 recently and the low beam bulbs were just hanging in the headlights!! They're not secured into the headlights.

The part I am looking for the the actual metal clip/spring that locks the bulb in on the E90 halogen headlights. I will need 2 of them. For now, I swapped the high beam spring with the low beam spring.

To give you an idea, it looks similar to these http://1.imimg.com/data/5/D/MY-14435...55_250x250.jpg

If anyone has some low or high beam headlight clip/springs available from some broken headlights or some they don't use, I will buy them! PM me a price shipped. Thanks.

I lost one of these while changing out a bulb yesterday. It turns out BMW does not sell them separately. You have to buy the whole assembly to get a spring clip worth a buck. If anyone has an extra around, I would gladly buy it! PM me if you have one for a 2008 328i with halogen headlights, uses the H7 bulb.

For halogen?

JasonSiDi · 12-06-2014, 02:27 PM

Howdy! Been looking for this as well, BMW initially told me I could get the clip from them, then later told me only the whole assembly. If someone still has this, I'm willing to buy it from you!

If you need a picture it's the same as the one attached.

Zack77 · 01-19-2015, 09:53 PM

If anyone is still looking shoot me a pm! I have a useless set of halogens sitting around that don't really need them anymore.

IK6SPEED · 01-19-2015, 11:48 PM

I still have a bunch of these!

bbigelow · 03-01-2015, 02:48 PM

Anyone still have some of these clips. I've gone white trash with some duct tape.

I still have some-I judging by the simplicity of them I might be able to create a small supply of these on a laser at work as well-probably a different design but same function. So if anyone actually needs some let me know and I can look into it-wouldn't take very long.

Hello All,

I need one

CA328I2007 · 08-02-2016, 10:38 AM

I have 5 of these clips available for sale.

High beam and low beam are slightly different shape but are physically interchangeable.
At this moment I have 5 of these spring clips. 3 are from high beam, 2 are from low beam. I have swapped them myself l to h and back again and am absolutely positive these work 100% for either.

If you or anyone else still have these clips, I'm interested in buying one or more. Thanks

rockflageagle · 11-06-2016, 11:25 AM

In the same boat. Need one for the passenger side.

I also need the clip that holds the cover on to the back of the housing. Anyone know where I can get one of those?

Groo · 12-11-2016, 10:31 PM

I need a low beam passenger side clip for the housing. Anyone have one for sale? Pm me please.
