Default Headlamp bulb retaining ring

I have a 2009 Equinox.
Recently when replacing my headlamp bulb i noticed i have a bad bulb retaining ring. Called the dealer and he said "to bad so sad" you must buy the entire $300 headlamp housing.

i have scoured the internet but nothing. Any input would be appreciated.
Junk yard maybe?

You may want to check out the GM Parts Direct website (GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts), however, according to my resources, the retaining ring in not sold separately. A junk yard may be your only option.

Please keep us posted.
