Help with something stupid

hey all,

i was putting in XENON bulbs today, and the right (left if you are looking at the car in front) side had this shield on, .. and i unscrewed the shield, and the screw went into a little "SCREW BRACKET" .. i don't know what it's called...

so i lost it in the engine, when popping the shield out of the car...

my question, is where can i get that little "SCREW BRACKET" ..

Um, why did you have to unscrew anything to install new bulbs?

Please be more specific about which part you lost.

ok, i figured that shield is useless...but i put it back on with 1 screw right now.. until i could find the other, but i just might take it off totatlly, .. thanks Hokiemax..

MZMTG: there is a black piece of plastic, behind the right (left if you are looking at the car) light fixture.. it's some type of shield, .. i have NO idea why it's there. it doesn't block anything, it doesn't do anything.. .. but it's there so i tried to put it back, and lost the Screw Bracket, .. it's kind of like a holster for a screw.. i don't know how to explain it, .. i'm not home right now, but when i get home, i will take a picture of it for you, and post it up..

thanks again guys..

I know what you are talking about. Just use a zip tie.

I thinkthe piece might be there just to prevent spillage from the windshield wiper fluid from contacting the wires.. ??
