So uh.. my headlight kinda just fell out. Now it looks like I gave her a black eye, and fortunately my h4 housing didnt break but I also want to put it back in. I have an original trim ring thats extra, but its flimsy like my original one. Is there an aftermarket option of thicker gauge or perhaps just newer that will go another 40 years?

I could use several of these rings too. I always forget to look at junkyards.

I few of mine have the tabs gone too. I had to fab up some hokey little retainers to take their place.
