fog light help

i need to know the name of a part becuase everytime i try to explain it to someone they tell me something else. my fog lights won't work without them and i don't even know where to find them. its like a metal "clip" that sits atop the fog light reflector in the back inside the houseing and holds the bulbs down in the whole assembly of the lens and relfector. it touches three different points on the reflector and two points on the back part of the bulb itself.ijust need to know what its called and where i can find more of them.sourry the explanation was so long, i just don't want to get anyone else confused.lol

Re: fog light help

best place i can think of is a junk yard but i also think that advanced auto parts carries the fog light itselph so i would try there and as for the name of it i would call it the fog light bulb retaining clip.

Re: fog light help

Try the Hyper White lites at Wal Mart. They are an exact replacement for the fog lights. Similar housing and holding elements. Open a set at the store and see if that will help. Usually sell for about $40 a set.

Really old post but in case any one else needed this part just use a bent paper clip it works perfect
