I have a 1979 kz650b and the headlight rattles in the bucket because the spring clips are missing. I need to know what they look like so that I can get some replacements.
Thanks,,

I bought an aftermarket headlight bucket, and it came with the spring clips shown bottom center.
Can't see them that well.
Worked well once I figured out how to use them.

Thanks for the pics. I wound up making them out of a few cotter pins. They seem to work well.

Cotter pins are a way to soft. These kind of spring clips are made of hardened steel wire.
