headlight question

[eagle97talon]

So I was changing my headlight bulbs today and I over-tightened the screw that holds in the spring clip. So the threading is all stripped and the clip actually cracked. I was wondering if i can replace that small housing, or if I'll need to get a whole new headlight. Thanks in advance.

Um.... you're not supposed to touch that screw. It's just for the clip to hook around. Try some JB Weld, but give it an honest 24 hours of cure time before trying to put stress on it again. Nothing other than the bulbs are separately replaceable in the headlight assemblies. You may be able to find similar bulb-holding hardware in other Mitsubishi headlights, though.
