for removal of these clips i found that smothering them in oil then using a heat gun to get them nice and warm (even hot) will greatly improve the chances of getting them off intact!... true story!

also when refitting these clips use an abrasive on the metal balls they clip to (specially if coated in paint), and again a healthy dose of duck oil will help to clip them without any damage. or better, grease will also help prevent future corrosion.

Hi, if anybody wants these headlamp adjuster clips or other plastic clips, eg door panel clips etc, let me know, as they're available here in Poland.

I replaced my headlight clips about a year and a bit ago. I bought the clips from 126fan.sk

The 126fan eshop have them listed @ something like 30cents AUD equivalent, just the postage seems to hurt !  Sounds like DHL are in there like in Germany where it costs about 40AUD to send an airmail parcel with no weight or volume (literally, as they are extra).
