    WTB: headlight bulb clip

    Wierd request, yes, but I need a clip for euro or u.s. ellips, that holds the bulb in it's place in the lens assembly. I lost one somehow and need a replacement.

    Anybody got a spare lying around?

        Not meaning to hijack, but....
        I need a few of the caps with the plugs that go over the ends of those bulbs. I need 3. I think I need 2 low beam with the city light wire and 1 high beam cover.

        Sorry. I have not been able to find a picture of the back of that bulb and my camera broke.

              RCWells - Not sure if you got what you need, but I'm still looking.
              Bump for us both....

                You need these?



                One of them has a couple chips in it, but nothing that affects sealing/locking/electricity.

                $15 shipped for the pair if they are what you wanted.

                  Those are basically the part, but it looks like those go inside the housing and turn to lock. The ones I need go outside of the housing and turn to lock. The one that I do have is metal if that helps to narrow it down. I need 3 or all 4 if possible. Thanks for trying though, Jordan.

                    Well these are what fits over the first picture in this thread, to seal out water.

                    Maybe Hella does theirs differently? but all the Bosch I've seen are like mine.

                      They are close, but if you look at the bulb pic you can see 2 of the three teeth(lower right and left of the round housing) that stick out to lock the cover on. I think the covers you have would need the teeth to point inward on the inside of the round housing.

                      The lights are some retarded "euro" H1 version, making this more difficult than it should be.
                      I'm gonna have to somehow get a pic of the one cap that I do have.

                        I'm sorry, I should have posted, yes, I DID get what I needed.

                        Thanks Pasha.

                          hey bro, the covers for the high and low beams are different,

                          the picture of the covers above will work for your low beams,
                          the high beams have the plug socket sticking out the back
                          (vs. from the bottom)

                              Here's the cap I have. It fit's all four lenses. The only difference is that the low beams have city lights also, so the cap for those should have one more blade on the plug.

                              They are basically four H1 lamps with different lens patterns for high and Low beams.
