Default Need some help identifying headlight bucket clip part

Hey guys. I'm in the process of rebuilding my passenger side headlight bucket after my car being hit with the headlights up. When that happened my passenger side headlight got pretty messed up. On the black bucket part of the headlights (the piece you can see with the headlights out), there are these black plastic clips. It looks like there are two of them on my driver's side.

I have a picture here of what they look like...



Anyone know what the name of this clip is? I hope I can find a new one as from what I can tell there are only two? Both of them broke on my passenger side.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi Matt,
I believe the headlight cup supports that are now available are white plastic instead of black but are being sold as a replacement for those on your car.
Probably used on a zillion GM cars over the years.
Look at:
Paragon 2287k-4
Zip M-3641

Regards,
Alan

Alan,

Thanks for that. You hit it on the nose, that's the part. Thanks a lot!
