Kinda hard to explan, but I used a universal throttle spring that is mounted at an angle so that it holds it closed, but when opened, "cams over", and holds it open. You can see it in the inside pic. The other end is attached to the side of the light backing plate. You can see that just below my finger in the LED pic.
Frank (PICKMUP) has changed suppliers, and doesn't sell this brand anymore.
