Lowbeam headlight clip

Hey guys went to go change the lowbeam bulb in my headlights. As I was putting the new bulb back in the plastic clip fell down into the engine bay. I cant find the damn thing. It looks just like a paper clip and it secures the bulb in place. Can I buy just this from the dealer or am i gonna have to buy the whole headlight. It shouldnt be more a 5 dollar part from mb. Any input guys?

There are other posts about these - good luck finding one.

Take the cover plate off under the engine. That's where they usually land.

I lost mine too! I would not mind replacing it. Samaritrey if he finds his. I might have some interest!

Edit wait - I think we are talking about something different. I did not read it all the way. Clip I am missing is what you remove to adjust the headlights.
