Headlight Bulb Retaining Clip

My 1998 didn't come with a headlight bulb retaining clip, so I bought a pack of 24 off of Amazon. None of them are correct; one of them is good enough for now (maybe forever, even).

Does anyone know the part number for the clip, if it is still in stock? It is not pictured anywhere I could find among the online microfiche suppliers.

Or does anyone have a spare lying around they'd sell me?

Thanks!

Maybe try messaging an eBay seller parting out a Hawk and see if you can get one that way.

Likely the wire retainer comes on the headlight assembly, though the diagrams don't show it. The are other Honda models from the same era that use exactly the same rubber cover, part number 33112-MAT-611. Which, I think, would use the same wire retainer. The two I looked at are the blackbird and CBR900. I'm guessing there are others that use the same rubber cover part. This will give you a larger pool to search.

Don't know if this helps, but here are a couple angles of the clip.

The one I'm using from the selection I purchased is decently similar to the stock one. I'll probably stick with that one since it's holding well, and sourcing a stock one seems like a bit of a mission. I messaged a couple of eBay sellers that I've bought from in the past, and they weren't interested in separating the clips from the headlight, which is fair enough.

Thanks anyway, guys
