Headlight tension spring clip

My wife's x1 i28 needed a low beam bulb replacement when she was more than 200 miles from a dealer. She asked a local garage who tried but were not successfull. They lost the clip that holds the bulb in place.
BMW says that is not a part that can be purchased and you must purchase a whole new light assembly..?. They don't seen eager to offer any solutions.
I believe light bulbs, wiper blades, tires etc. should not have to be dealer only replacement.
Any one have any ideas where I can get a spring.
Does the same spring clip fit all 3 series and x models?

Not sure what the clip looks like but you may be able but bend up a paper clip or some wire as a temp solution till you find a proper clip.

Have you tried looking here: realoem.com
