Parking Light Retaining Clip

[tgrfly]

So I received my black housing clear corners today and went to install them and the drivers side went in fine, but when I went to put the passenger side back in the two little retaining clips that grab the two posts on the back side of the parking light broke. I went to Ford and they want $2 and some change a piece for them and you have to buy a package of three just to get them because they don't have them in stock. I don't have a junkyard around my area with any Xs as new as mine. Any idea where I can find these little guys?

For $2.00 each I would just buy them and finish your installation. As to the extra maybe someone here needs one.

Not to be a jerk, but you drove to Ford Dealer at $3.40 per gallon. Refused to spend $2 each because you had to buy 3 and spend and extra $2 over what you needed, but are willing to spend the time driving around and wasting your time looking for a place to get one or two, when for $6 you could have been done???
That doesn't make sense to me.
For $2 at that point I would have thrown the other away as soon as I did the install.

I agree for 6 bucks you could be done!

I was already in town at the time so it wasn't a wasted trip. And for all you know I could have called them and foun i d out over the phone.I went ahead and ordered them. I just found it to be a little outrageous for them to to be $2.50 a piece. Every dollar counts anymore.

Yes I did go to Ford. Good job reading. Two thumbs up.

Point is, I was already in town so it wasn't a wasted trip, and I was posting to see if there was a cheaper alternative. Sorry to ask a simple question.

I got them ordered, picked them up, and installed them. End of story.

Thanks for the help...
