Headlight bulb sitting in loose
So I just changed my headlight on my ninja 250 for the first time, just did it from tire up. Clip seems super simple was all smooth until I had to clip it back in. The clip is going into the clip holder thing, but is in there loosely and the bulb is wiggling all over the place.
Is my clip bent or is there more to it that I realize. Seems so simple it's pissing me off. -.- |

Update
So the clip is definitely bent. Will be ripping fairings off and rebending it to hold bulb tight. |

Make sure you didn't throw the adapter for the headlight bulb away. Could be your clip is bent too.

You did keep the black adapter thing, right?

While I'm at it, would this be a worthy upgrade?
