Default Headlight Motor

I completed the headlight motor actuator gear change on my 2002 C5. Reinstalled last night, motor does not operate. Discovered that when I pulled the cover from the motor, being nosey to see if any plastic worked it's way up, I must have lost the springs that hold the brushes in place and against the rotor. Anyone know what those springs look like?

So, not seeing any replies, I took the spring from a ball point pen, cut in a third, and success.
