You posted on the thread that explains how to fit them yesterday! Basically it's just a lot of fiddling around until you can get them to fit, although the fit isn't usually great anyway. They're held on by the headlight retaining rings so adjusting the headlamp screws won't help much. See here: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32232
