Does the light with the broken clip still work?  I'm not sure what pice
of plastic you are talking about.  If its job is to mechanically hold
the light in place, naybe you could gerry-rig something with a
tie-wrap.  If its job is to insulate the lamp electrical connection, you
might can just leave the wires exposed, or paint them with "liquid
electrical tape".  It is also possible that the broken piece is a
standard replacement part.

I don't know if any of this has been useful, but if it's only a plastic
part that is broken, you should be able to repair the ligt strip. But it
might look weird from the bottom :-)
