Headlight bulb retaining clip

Took my 2010 Toyota Highlander to the shop today to see about getting a new clip to hold the headlight bulb in. The only option they had was to replace the whole headlight assembly. Is there somewhere I can purchase this online or does anyone have a broken headlight assembly they could take this part off of to purchase?

The part I'm looking for looks like this:

You can start by calling pick-n-pull places and see if they have any Highlanders in the yards and see if you could pull the clip or whole assembly for cheap. But with such a new vehicle there may be few around or not. Or take the other clip out and compare to other Toyotas headlight bulb clips.

I did a search and found this. You can possibly find them cheaper. Do a search and you may find them cheaper if buying an aftermarket lens assembly is your last option.

Here is a link I found for your ride. Don't know if it's legit or not. There may be a link on the site also to a manual.

Good luck and do some research online...

Eh, called every junk yard in the surrounding area, and have looked nearly everywhere online. The whole point of this post was to avoid having to buy the entire assembly, thanks for the links though.

I kinda expected that because it's such a new vehicle. How'd you lose that?
