That size headlight was used in a lot of different cars & the retainers were at least similar across the board. Check with a decent automotive store or aftermarket panel supplier & a new item should be available. Even worth looking through Hella, Narva & Britax catalogues.

Hi thanks for your input, unfortunately while that size of headlight is very common the retainer isn't (If you get a chance have a look at one and compare it to a more common Toyota, Daihatsu and other small type headlights) as it also forms part of the adjustment process for the headlight. So i'll just have to wait patiently for a genuine one to come up and pay through the nose for it lol. Besides i'm somewhat anally retentive and i like to use original parts where possible in a build.
Cheers :crazy:
