Default question about steel spring clip inside the headlight assembly

Bought brand new philips bulbs for my 06 lexus gs300 and discovered that the passenger side spring clip lost its tension thus the hid bulb was lose. It is possible to replace this piece?

you should be able to gently bend it to put the spring back in. someone must have tried to force it open instead of unclipping it and bent it in the past.

Thank you. It seems that previous owner tried to forced it out. Funny how people think force = results. Thank you, InRBigness.
