Ioniq Hybrid Headlight Clip Broken

[bobdickgus]

So I was messing around with my mom’s Ioniq Hybrid, trying to swap out the headlight bulbs, and I totally goofed and broke the retaining clip. Now the bulb’s just flopping around in there. I’ve scoured the web, but I can't find anything about replacing just the clip. Is that even a thing, or are we about to drop some cash on a whole new assembly? Seriously, any tips would be perfect!

So sorry man, you should be able to replace just the clip, you might want to try reaching your local dealership. Hopefully they save you from replacing the whole assembly.

Thanks Conner for getting back to me.
Actually I contacted my dealer, but it’s been nothing but crickets! Fingers crossed I can just swap out the clip, but I’m not seeing much info out there about whether that’s even a thing or if there’s a clip available.

Try going to your local auto parts center. They might be selling the clip separately.

Dealers are an entirely different drama!
So, any feedback yet? Have you been able to get a fix?
