Hello everyone - I am looking to install the factory fog lights in the next few days and was reviewing the install instructions, which make reference to a Clip Remover Tool. Over the years, I have broken my fair share of Honda's retaining clips performing my own mods and thought that such a tool would prove to be invaluable to me :). My question is, does anyone have one or know where to find one? I called a couple of Honda parts counters to no avail.

Either here or at another site someone posted a picture of a pair of tweezers modified by bending the tips to fit the indentations on the clips. I bought a pair with pointed tips and bent the,final 3/8 or 1/4 inch about 80 degrees. Much easier to use than a small srew driver or ice pick!
