Default Where to get the headlight retaining ring

Well, I know I messed up something, again. In the process of replacing the headlight, I have to break the retaining ring since one bolt was stuck.

So, where I can buy the new retaining ring.

Thanks.

Edit: never mind, you want just the trim ring.
I have an extra.

Thanks anyway. May I secure the lamp with tape instead of a metal retaining ring? Is there any Universal type retaining ring I can use?
