I posted a few days ago about a fogged headlight housing, thanks for the tips...

I removed the bumper (quite easy) and then the headlight housing...turns out that 2 of the 4 clips on the backing plate are broken off and thus allowing moisture through.

Is this backing plate replaceable? Does anyone have a p/n? The only one I see doesn't look like a VW P/N...it has Hella stamped on it, and reads 160 164-00 R.

I'll attach a picture of the part to this message too.

I'm also ordering new main Xenon bulbs while I'm on there...this side in particular has recently shown some signs of pending failure...high frequency flickering visible to a trained eye...the car is 12yrs old now and that's how old my B5 was when one of the original Xenons called it quits...I replaced both and kept the working one as a spare.
