If the clips break off, you are fukced man. You really have no choice but to buy a new housing. You could try to ghetto rig somthing, but I don't see how it's possible.............

Worth a shot? I know Checkers/Kragen's/Schuck's has it. Don't know where else.

Buy some new clips from ECStuning.com, mine were broke when I bought used OEM projectors from ebay. However, the only clips that are replaceable are the tops ones, the bottom one is different in its shape and position and doesnt have a 'kit' to fix it, so you might have to just glue it on, any auto epoxy should work. I decided not to fix my bottom ones since I didn't have them, but I have no movement in my headlights so it seems fine, I think the only clips that really matter are the tops. I tried gluing the tops before replacing them with the kit (basically slide on clips with a screw in the center for it to hold), and it didnt work out very well, its just too awkward to really glue it and then clamp it so then it holds well.

Yeah worked PERFECTLY, holds tight even without the bottom clips (bought em like that..). It really easy to do, takes like maybe 5 minutes, just sand/dremel any of the existing tab off, and screw the new ones on. If you look at your headlight where the tabs used to be, youll see the screw holes and little 'grooves' that the new tabs will slide into. I don't believe that mine came with any new screws except for the ones used to hold them in place, so make sure you keep all your mounting screws.

Oh yeah and if you order them, make sure you have the right ones, cause they come in two sets, one for the right side, and one for the left side headlight.
