    I've never seen them forsale separately, doesnt mean you won't get them.

    If you have another clip I would probably bend some steel wire of similar diameter into the same shape, should do the same job. Or just buy a spare down lighter for the clip, they are dirt cheap, you'll also use the bulbs at some stage...
