Help with a DIY mod (HID) ...

I have an H4 hi/lo hid kit and I'm going to put it in the stock housing. The problem is I want to install this glare shield:



This is the HID hi/lo bulb setup with an H1 halogen piggybacked for hi-beam:



You can see that these are not compatible unless you take the hi beam bulb off and maybe mount it on the glare shield ... like this:



I need to get my hands on a clip to mount the bulb, but how? I need to drill holes for the bulb to send it through. Has anyone done anything like this and/or might be able to offer suggestions?

radioshack, use the clips that normally hold large fuses for car amps.
