    tail light mounting clip

    Hi guys
    Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get the metal retaining clip that holds the taillight assembly inplace in the bumper bar So far all I have found are people trying to sell me the whole tail light assembly $60 - $90 for a 10c piece of metal
    I have a 2004 TD5
    many thanks
    Keith

    Hi Keith, you don't want to know that I threw out a light fitting with a cracked lens just last week.

    Try a wrecker - they would surely get broken lights from time to time with springs still intact.

    I lost one of these bumper lights out of our D2 Disco on a long corrugated road - just fell off completely. The spring must have let go.

    Might have one here for you.

    Some twit planted a lightpole right where I was trying to reverse

    Have to pick up a new light on the weekend, but if it comes with clips, I will quite happily part with one & use my originals.

    PM your details, & I will let you know over the weekend.

    thanks guys for the input

    if all else fails the superglue trick sounds better than the gaffer tape solution I am about to use
