low light head lights What holds them in?

Post by pgc520 »

what holds the headlight into the chrome rim? I can see that the class has a lead fitting that restrains part of the light? The two little knobby bits don't seem to do a lot !

I am I missing a part?[frame]Image[/frame]

There are some sprung metal clips, the same type as holds greenhouse glass in, that hold the light unit into the rim.
Sorry, no pictures to hand!
