Default Headlight Rollover Switch Metal Retaining Clips Source

Is there a company that reproduces the 2 metal retaining clips used on the C2 headlight rollover switch?

As most everyone is aware, these original metal clips are prone rusting and easily break when trying to disassemble the switch from the housing.

I don't think that they are being reproduced. I have been looking for them for the past year. I finally bought a faulty switch to get the clips.

Yes, I am looking for a source for the metal clips shown circled in red by 63driver's reply.

Years ago Paragon use to have them listed in their catalog. I don't see them in the current catalog, so I guess they're no longer available, but you might want to give them a call anyway.

When all else fails, there is always duct tape.

I might have a few. I bought some extras years ago. I think they came from a place in Michigan. I’d have to look.
