    Was changing the headlight bulb in a 2008 Peugeot 207 and the metal bar that holds the bulb in sprung away and nowhere to be found. Anyone know where a replacement one can be got.
    Breakers yard might be best, but not sure they would give me just this part. Ideally looking for somewhere online to order a replacement. Any help at all, greatly appreciated

    If it's the kind of clip that I imagine, would it be possible to make up another one, using the one you still have, as a template? Just don't lose it!

    Might be worth a shot with a bit of coat hanger wire. As long as I don't have another frank spencer moment

    Wait till you get to a scrappy and get one from another headlamp. I wouldn't make up that part myself, too many bends/tensile will be completely wrong......

    The effort of a keyring that comes with most new locks might work ok, bit springy

    Call main dealer and ask for price

    It might be sold separately from headlamp unit
