Headlight retaining clips?

When I fitted my HID kit earlier this year I stupidly clipped one of the bulb retainers, thinking it was a closed loop of metal, but turns out it wasn't. I was more careful with the other side, but I can't replace the OEM bulbs now as I am short of a retaining clip. I've made a temporary replacement from wire, but I could do with the original spring steel retainer. Does anyone know where I could get one?
Skoda say it's part of a headlight unit so I can't get one from them.

TIA
