I was installing some new HID bulbs into my 2002 tl today and one went in fine, but on the passenger side the little silver tab that holds the wire that secures the bulb into the housing broke off. I am not sure what I can do to fix this. I managed to rig something to hold the bulb in the housing, but the two lights look very uneven. Please let me know if anyone has any experience with this. If it can't be fixed I am going to just buy a new headlight! Thanks.

u mean these tabs. circled in red



my guess is that your gonna need to buy a new head light housing. or i could sell u mine for a head light that i have laying around

 

What i would do is remove the headlight housing from the car(to make things easier) and see if i couldnt use that screw and a washer or make something to attach there to hold the wire inplace
