Default How do install these light covers?

They are 4-eye covers and they dont clip on, and dont go into the light peremiter. There is a rubber seal around them, and it looks like the only way the go on is with 2-sided tape. They also dont look like they fit right. These were compatible with all 4-eye stangs and they just dont look like they are right. am I doing this right with the 2-sided tape or is there some kinda trick for this?

Help please

Here is some pics. The tape makes it look too tacky, and I dont want the 2-sided tape to do that.




I hope this helps

Its alright, I will just make em fit. I will just take the outer seal off and a few parts down put the seal back on and they should slide right in snugly. I think they look badass!! I dont see how they are ugly. And 86_5.0L, Ive seen your car the way it is now and I have to say....... its ugly
