Headlight bulb change gone wrong

I broke the clip holding the bulb in place. The rubber gasket was a bit baked in place and I tugged apparently a little too much, broken plastic wire clip holder... bam. Now what? Any ideas? btw, zxe bulbs went simultaneously, one year.

If you can find the broken piece, you should be able to JB Weld it back on. Perhaps you can rig up another way to fix it. Either way requires removal of the bumper cover in order to remove the headlight assembly.

Thanks, the tiny plastic curl that holds the clip has broken. I just used the rubber collar cover to hold the bulb in place. It will probably shake at speed over bumps but oh well. It is functional so far.
