Unknown fastener/clip

Can anyone tell me what this retainer is used for? I had it bagged with my windshield trim clips and now while rebuilding my 69 442 cant figure out what it is for. It is about 3/4"long by 1/2"wide. Thanks for all the help!!

The wire clip looks like a door panel retainer to me. The other one is a wire routing clip. I've seen them on trunk and hood light wires, A/C compressor wires, and other places.

Thanks Rocketraider, Both pics are the same clip. You confirmed what I thought it might be for, The underhood light wire. Now I just have to figure out wear it goes? Thanks again!

Identified fastener

Located this clip in my assembly manual and it is indeed the wire retainer for the underhood light. It mounts on the pinchweld above the power booster.
