i think about super glue too, but the problem is i don't have that broken piece, it's nowhere to be found, and if i glue the bracket, then it can't turn and lock the bulb in

i dont know of any plastic piece that holds the bulb in place. only thing i can think off is the metal wire thing that holds the bulb in place, then the big round rubber piece that goes on the back of the headlight when the bulb is in place and seals the headlight.

i don't think i can get JDM part from a US dealer though?

it's not the metal clip that holds the bulb, it's the plastic piece that holds the metal clip

o... i think i know what u mean. and if you cant find that broken piece. you can always fabricate one and superglue it. dremel out a new piece and try that. otherwise, im not really sure what u can do...

the surface area is kind of small, i don't think super glue can hold it for long, especially the pressure given by the clip when we trying to place the bulb in place

then epoxy would work better. epoxy will probably be harder then the plastic your applying it to.
