Rally Lights - help!

There are 3 wire retaining clips that hold the light bulb in the rally light housing. These clips are somewhat shaped like the letter "W." Does anyone know what they are called and where one can puchase them? Thanks!

If these "W" clips are similar to the ones that are used in the old Lucas driving lights on my Classic Mini, then here's one solution. When I lost one and couldn't find a replacement, I bought some piano wire at a local hobby store of the same diameter as the one clip I still had and then bent up a "W" as close to the original as possible. It is still retaining the bulb in place some decades later.

Good Luck!

Paul
