I was hoping thats not wjat id have to do, but seems like that's the only option. I'll check Nissan tomorrow when they're open! Ty for your input
They don't like selling the little parts. But, a new headlight is only ~$900 from the dealer. I hope you can find something that works. There's been a smashed headlight on the local CL forever (not mine). Maybe offer the guy $25 for the clip, and save yourself a lot of aggravation:

The little parts that aren't part of an assembly, I notice. As opposed to the bumper push-clips, which I WAS able to pick up there.

You guys are going to laugh, but I made the broken clip work with some duct tape! 😂
It's on there very sturdy, and allowed me to put my nicer headlights back on the car! For now..

Did you ever figure this out?
I know it's been awhile and this is a long shot but did you ever find anywhere to get another one? I'm dealing with the same problem?

yes I definitely did with absolutely no shame at this point 😂. I figured the retaining clip is just a piece of wire so I might be able to just bend and form one out of a paper clip or something similar. Some people have suggested tape/zip ties and silicone. But I'm looking for something that will hold up a little better and not make it too difficult in the future
