Default D2S retainer clip, retainer ring, bulb holder?

I just did a xenon upgrade and everything went well except the plastic ring that holds my D2S bulb got melted while being used improperly with H7 bulbs. Does anyone know where I can get another one of these plasitc rings that hold the bulb in place? I called the crappy store (procarparts.com) where I bought them and they can't help me. I called Sunset Audi in Portland and he didn't know what I was talking about becuase these are aftermarket lights.

I know what you your are talking about but that isn't really my problem. My D2S bulb fits perfectly in new housing. There is a plasitc ring that holds the bulb tight against the housing. That is the piece I need. My old halogen hosings that metal clip that held the H7 bulb to the housing, that is same thing this plastic ring does.

When I talked to Sunset Audi in Portland they didn't know what I was talking about. Does this part have a name and is it used on any Audi's from the factory?
