    Missing "clamp"/"spring" for headlamp

    Hello!

    I bought this headlamp 2nd hand in denmark, when i came home i found out there is something missing.

    I can't quite work out how the missing "clamp" should look. I can't find it anywhere on the net.
    It looks like the bulb is a H4

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

      Yes, there is a wire "spring" that clamps the H4 bulb into the opening. Unfortunately I do not have a photo of it to show you what it looks like. Some cars also have a similar spring to hold the bulb into the light.

      I suggest you look at a place where motorcycles are stripped and sold as parts, or are there no such places in your country?

        I guess it's this wire spring i am missing? :-)

        We do have such places here, but unfortunately they're all in the other end of the country :-)

          Just took a few pics for you of the H4 bulb I have on the shelf. The spring should have been trapped by the tab they bend over to act like a hinge.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Great pictures! Thanks a lot!

            After seeing the pictures, it looks like i am missing more than the spring. It looks like i am also missing a brass/metal conversion bracket.
