Circular Clip on Low Beam Light socket

I was replacing the low beam bulb left side on my 06 Mercedes E320 and I did not notice that when I pulled the bulb out, the circular aluminum clip that was on the socket fell off. I drove the car to Autozone to get the bulb and probably fell off. Search under the carriage, gone. Cannot put the socket to the headlight body without the clip.
Please HELP!

Thanks

correct me if I’m wrong but you can get them for $9 off eBay. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F232376945124

Thanks but those clips are for LED conversion. I bought one and did not fit. I called 3 MB dealership and everyone said that I had to buy new headlight cause it was part of it. After searching and putting different keyword, I found the part number, saw the picture of it and it was the right one. It was the full electrical harness for $35. Bought it and I will only use the retaining clip. It's worth it with all the hassle trying to fix it for days.
So, be careful when you replace the bulb on your MB, that clip can fall off.

Thanks again
