Last night I got my Kensun HID kit 6k from amazon. Installation was successful, however last night when I was taking off my engine cover I dropped one of my rivets ? inside the hood.
Im not sure what to do, I hope it does not damage the car or something. Do I need to replace the rivet ?

I don't think i will harm anything.

I'm not picturing this. What rivet? One of the plastic holder pushin clips? If on the engine cover, how did it 'fall' into the hood?

I agree, it shouldn't hurt anything. You can find replacements on ebay or Amazon. When we bought the car in September it was missing about 5 of them. I bought the following from Amazon and replaced all of them: 10 Toyota & Lexus Engine Splash Shield Push-in Style Clips 90467-07201.

I didnt word this correctly, it fell into the engine (not like in the engine engine) but just in general ? while the hood was open of course. lol

You should be good. Those things are terrible. I've owned a few of this generation of the ES and they get busted and fall everywhere. If you were changing the plugs and had the engine open, that might be a different story.
