So I just changed my license plate lights yesterday, and didn't realize the plastic clips are only one time use. I went to my local auto zone and they didn't have them, and the employee also couldn't find them on his computer to order them. I'm also having trouble finding them online. I ordered some from Amazon that looked similar, but of course they were too big. I currently have duct tape holding the lights on lol. Can someone help me out? 98 camry LE 2.2 liter

Jobber replacement clips often don't fit properly and/or are very cheaply made. Can take a chance but you might end up wasting $5-10. Don't buy from toyotapartsdeal.com the site is a scam if they send you wrong parts they'll charge you a restocking fee. Avoid.

Thank you everyone for the help. I was actually able to find a 15 pack on Amazon for around $10, and they fit perfectly. I'll leave the link in case anybody else has this problem in the future. Cheers!

In a pinch was able to use Autozone part 465520 "Push type retainer"

I didn't really like the part so I just inserted it partway and it held the light in place for a few days until I got the official Toyota part - better than using tape or driving around with the light hanging down.
