Hi guys,
Getting to know my 2007 RT.
Changing a headlight bulb I noticed the spring clip was broken. Right side is missing.
I cannot see a way to replace it, although there seem to be new clips available.Has anyone done this?
Thanks.

Re: Spring clip replacement
The clip just clips in. Simple job if you have small hands.

I've got large sized, and with the dash trim removed, I could squeeze my hand inside. I ended up with only a few scrapes

Re: Spring clip replacement
This image is not of my bike, but the fittings look identical. It has been said a new spring clip can be fitted. The hinge circled looks press fit. How does a new spring clip attach? Thanks.
