Help keep your headlight assembly secured in its mount with the Dorman HELP Headlight Retainer, part number 42445, a Mustang headlight retainer clip built as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Ford Mustang. The catalog lists it for both the left and right headlight positions, so it serves either side of the car.

A headlight retainer is a small clip that helps hold the headlight assembly in its mounting position. When an original clip goes missing or breaks, the lamp can sit loose or out of place. If a failed retainer is the cause, this part replaces it.

  • Direct replacement: Designed to match the original part's fit and function on the listed applications.
  • Ideal solution: A dependable choice when the factory retainer has broken from fatigue or is no longer there.
  • Durable construction: Made from quality materials and engineered for reliable performance.
  • Trustworthy quality: Backed by Dorman's U.S.-based product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs a headlight retainer may need replacing include a headlight assembly that feels loose or rattles, a lamp that sits out of position, or a clip that is visibly cracked or missing.
