Hey guys,

I recently attempted to replace the bulbs on my '09 sedan and in a moment of impatience (aka: rage), I snapped off one of the retaining brackets on the spring retaining mechanism. It appears that this piece might actually be replaceable, but I can't find a part #. If anyone has any old headlight assemblies lying around that don't work, but are willing to remove and ship this piece, please give me a price and I was hoping to attempt this repair.

It's literally the piece with two screws in it on each end, and houses the retaining spring/level thingie:

Circled in red...




Thanks!
Paul

 

Did bracket break or can you pop back in? They dont sell it seperate you'll have to replace it

 

Yeah, one of the tabs snapped off that retains the spring. I figured I'd have to go for a whole new headlight, which is obviously even more frustrating. How that entire piece wasn't made of metal, is beyond me, but I suppose they weren't anticipating too much frustration in changing a simple bulb.

I'll have to check a scrap yard, but I was hoping to find someone with a headlight that they are willing to part out because it's damaged or something.

 

You probably can use that part from any similar year Nissan or Infiniti with HIDs.

 

Dont know if the 2010+ version will fit however I have two of these projectors with wiring and ballast. Let me know if they do.

Thanks guys.

@BULL I don't believe the assembly in your image has the spring and clip piece unfortunately...

 

Looks like this one is the one you have

 

That looks close, definitely has the spring retainer, though I wonder if the assembly is integrated into the housing there.
