Protege5 Low Beam Bulb Spring Clips
Does anyone know of a source for an aftermarket spring clip for the low beam bulbs? Missing the passenger side, but I think both are the same.
It's my son's car and he is leaving out of state early next week, so this is somewhat urgent. Open to any ideas.

Do any of the aftermarket headlight assemblies I see on eBay come with the spring clip (retention spring)? Can anyone tell me if the spring clip is identical for both sides?

My son is now out-of-state with the car. Still no retention spring, but life goes on. Was doing some searching and ran across the following old comment on another board:
"i know this is old but if anyone else has the same prolem like i did, you could take one off a vw,bmw,audi they all use h7 and most have the same clips as we do."
And then this one:
"i broke another clip lol stupid things are so fragile well here is the parts number if anyone needs it
Mfg Part# 1J0941160 (dealer)
ECS Part# ES#310758 (ecstuning.com)"
I went to the ecstuning.com site:

Can anyone confirm if this looks correct? If any of you happen to be replacing your low beam bulbs, how about taking a few up close pics of the spring and posting them here?
