Peace
Thank you for responding
I understand
My problem is in hindsight
Can I I purchase without HID and put new bulbs in
My unit has the leveling
Just how does that come in the equation
Any suggestions for the unit

No bonus points in being brief.

What do you have on the good side?

Since you mentioned self leveling, should I assume HID? If your RX is plumbed for HID then the replacement must be HID bulb.

Once you share what you have on the good side we can then give you your options.

I am out of my league here as I had non HID lights. If you can post a picture we can suggest a solution.

The key is finding out which component the broken clip belongs to.
Clip is by itself.
Clip is part of the harness/connector
Clip is part of the housing.

Lot of RXs are now making it to salvage yards with 15+ years of active service.
