Default Headlight HID swap broken tabs

So it seems Nissan cheaped out to save $ and also reduce weight? The tabs that hold in the HID lamps are made of plastic and are easily broken. I broke one yesterday swapping in some HIDs. This housing is usually metal where the spring clips over holding in the bulb. Nice Nissan.

So the question is, can this part be replaced without buying a whole headlight assembly? Seems this part can come off but want to see if anyone knows anything about it.
