Part numbers 9,15,22, and 33 are all oil seals on that microfiche,are those the ones you found? If you can remove the seal often the part number is stamped on it somewhere, or you can take the seal to a bearing place and they can usually get a comparable one.

first take scews out or head light unit locaded on either side at 3 n the 9 oclock position they should be a phillips then you should be able to remove the bulb it depends on if light does not work and you have replaced bulb you need to use 12volt test light and check for power on the back of bulb I have had at least 3 times that bulb was good an the spade connection on back of ligt it self if you do not have a test light I would pick one up at walmart or local parts store they are pretty cheap and give lot of advise when chacking fo 12 volt power you need to ground the test light bye attaching its ground clip to anything meatal on motor or fram be ccareful not to put onpainted ares when you take the point end of the test light and check the plugthat attaches to the liht the ligt can be unplugged you should have one wire that lights your light when key is on and one that lights the light only when your high beam indacater is on the other wire is a ground if you have no power on thet plug you need to check fuse for the lights if fuse is good may have problem in handle bar switch if it is the switch try a little wd-40 in the switch an then work it back an forth blow excess out with air hope this info helps
