Headlight Bulb Metal Clip Broken
Anyone know the part to replace the metal clip to lock?
When I was replacing the bulb on my low beam, I was able to unclip the metal thing and then when I try to lock it back up it won't lock anymore. I think the area where it was supposed to lock got broken off or am I doing it wrong? I don't remember anything falling if it did broke off when I went to replace my bulb. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...81445c49d3.jpg |
I think you broke the teeth where the metal clip latches to you will have use a zip tie to secure the metal clip around the circled part.

Junkyard or ebay for a used one. Toyota/Lexus dealer parts department for new, they can look it up. It may get expensive from a dealer, they may want to sell the whole light assembly.
In fact that may be the only way to get a used one. |

I think it is a headlight assembly for HID bulbs, I have a hard time being sure from your photo. I'm not sure if you need the right or left one. I saw a bunch of them on eBay, both used, and new aftermarket.
Look at this parts list from MyLParts.com https://www.mylparts.com/v-2009-lexu...amp-components |
You would have to buy the whole headlight.

This is not a replaceable part |
@Tamenaz what did you end up doing to repair the broke clip tooth on the bulb housing? I had the same thing happen to me... sigh...
