headlight locking device clip

[scooter2]

Hello,
Nebie and my first post.

i noticed some of my lights were not working in my headlight pod.
so i checked fuses and changed bulbs. well that was not it. it was the connection to the pod that was loose. so i made an attempt to adjust and the yellow locking device connector housing came off and fell down in behind.
so here is the question. the part is several days away but is only $10,
should i try to get it or just order a new one?
i am not sure if i can take the plastic off in the wheel well or what.

thanks for your time!
