Default Metal clip that holds the DRL/High beam cover on - Anyone have an extra?

I was working on my lights the other day and that metal clip that snaps the driver side DRL/High beam cover into place and locks it there fell into the unknown. I spent forever trying to find it but gave up and need another one. Does the dealer sell just this small part? If so, what is the part number? Otherwise, does anyone have an extra from a wrecked car, etc...?

Thanks!

Not sure what piece you're looking for but I like to use this site to look for partnumbers to make ordering easier:

Mino, thanks for the link. However, I don't see it on there.

It's a silver metal clip that secures the plastic cover for the DRL/High beam on the back of the headlight housing. There is one for the low beams and the DRL/High beam and I'm missing the one on the DRL/high beam.

^^ A few from just the ones in the front should be enough for you to get your hand in there and fish around.. (10mm)

Also, you might get lucky by just taking off the oil filter cover and putting your hand in through there... It could not have gotten too far..
(4 - 10mm bolts)

Great advice. I'll see what I can find when I get home tonight!
