Help identifying a part

So I was trying to replace my driver side head light bulb because it died but I had a crazy hard time trying to remove the clip that was holding onto the bulb. Needless to say I somehow managed to remove the whole housing off. I couldn't put the housing back in and I broke the teeth that holds it in place. I need to know what the housing is called or the part number. I couldn't find anything on google. It's the metal part where the bulb goes into and where the metal clip is attached to. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

This is on a 2008 C300 Sport Sedan if that makes any difference

My bet is you cannot buy that part and will need an entire new headlamp assembly... without xenon you are looking at about $450 brand new online.

Correct, you need a complete headlight assy. I would try to find a used unit.

Damn really? It just looks like it just plugs back in. Oh well. Thanks. I guess now I can get an aftermarket head lamp or something.
