Headlight Assembly Spring Clip - where to buy locally?

I almost got my eyes poked out by an errant spring clip @#%*&$(...
Lost one somewhere in the garage and two of them snapped due to just being brittle.
I'm talking about the clips that hold the chrome trim ring against the light bucket.

Can they be purchased locally? Say a Strauss or Pep Boys? or am I better off getting them from Cip1? Just looking for a quick way to get this headlight back on the car.

Thanx

Doubt mass auto parts would have but any VW place would probably have them --- bet dealer still has NOS left.

"bet dealer still has NOS left. "

I wouldn't bet against you, I just got some rear axles nuts and cotter pins from my the nearby dealer. It was kinda neat.

Mel,
I have a few spares. P-mail me your address and I will put them in the mail to you.

Troy, thanks for the kind offer! I disassembled both headlight buckets to check parts. Unfortunately, a few more did not survive the inspection. I went ahead and ordered 2 sets from 800luvbug.com, I needed a few other items anyway.

I picked up a can of Dupli-Color instant chrome and some colored parking bulbs while i'm at it! Seems some of the guys have had much luck with them, and they look pretty cool.

Hope I don't brake anything else in the process...LOL

Mel what kind of luck have you had with those little colored bulbs, and what is Dupli-color instant chrome, please explain.

Hi Karl

Dupli-Color is a brand of paint. Instant Chrome is just one of their product of Metallic Finishes. Comes in Gold and Dull Silver I believe. The colored Parking Bulb was a topic by one of the members - Cory, check it out!
