Duster is right. The spring on the headlight rim keeps it from bouncing around.

Headlight rings depend on the car. On some cars, they're purely decorative. On others, they have adjustment screws so you can aim the lights.
Coil springs support the weight of the car and help absorb bumps. A car with no springs of any sort would have a very stiff ride and wouldn't be able to keep the wheels firmly in contact with the pavement on rough ground. Some cars use other spring designs, like leaf springs or torsion bars.

coil spring? Headlight ring?? Cprings are for your suspenion...you have them in the front and rear (unless you have a leaf-spring truck....the coil is for your starter...but it has no spring...it is an electronic component....
A headlight-ring? Unless you are making reference to the small nylon or rubber gasket that is at the base of the lamp ficture keeping moisture out of the light housing...
That is the best I can give you from the information you gave me
