The headlight shell is typically fitted between two ears. A bolt or turn-signal stalk goes through the ear and through the shell with threads protruding inside the shell. There's typically a nut on each side which screws onto the threads and tightens the shell between the ears.

The mentioned ground washer is typically fitted onto the threads under a flat washer, then comes a lock washer, and finally the nut.

Good Luck!

The wiring on most if not all Kawasaki's for the brake and running lights:

RED, running or tail light.
BLUE,(sometimes with a red stripe)brake light.
BLACK with Yellow stripe,ground circuit.
