A headlight retainer helps hold the headlamp in position within its mount so the lamp does not shift. A retainer may need replacing if the headlight is loose or rattles, if the beam aim will not stay set, or if the retainer is broken or missing. If a worn or missing retainer is the cause, this part replaces it. Check the rest of the headlamp mount before ordering.
