Dome light retaining clips are not sold separately?
I checked the online parts fiche and went to the dealer. There are four metal clips that hold the front dome light up. The picture below is one of the clips that is not broken and the diagram from the parts fiche where they are located. The dealer wants me to order an entire dome light. Does anyone know how or where to get these? Thanks for any help!
To me it looks like the unit is one piece and the top of the white plastic fitting is broken off. Does the metal clip still have enough material to fit into?

The last picture showing the metal clip/retainer going into the end of the white plastic is in good working condition. I took a crappy picture. There are four of these clips that secure the dome light to the headliner. I am amazed they are not sold separately. I had one that was already broken up removing the dome light. I then broke another while removing the clip to bring with me to the dealer. Thanks to MSG 55G for getting me them from a donor salvage vehicle!

They didn't give me a price and I didn't ask. They retail at about $300 though. I am really surprised I couldn't find a single thread on this issue. These are probably $3 retaining clips. I
