Driving light covers

Hey guys,
Bought the driving light covers from eliseparts, but not sure how they "fix" on. They are basically just plastic covers, do I just push them on, or apply some glue/silicon? anyone done this already?
Total noob question but dont want them falling off 5 mins down the road

Ah I might have not explained it properly.
They are covers for the wee lights in the front grill, not headlights.

Wrong covers mate, driving lights are the wee ones in the front grill. I don't know how they fit either but if I were you I'd just call Elise Parts and I'm sure they'll help you buddy.
Cheers

I assume they should sit further forward than the actual lens? I recond one of mind has gone almost all the way on, and so a stone would simply hit the plastic, and the glass, and smash the glass anyway?

Use the silicon to stand them off a bit if that is the case. That said the glass would go but the plastic would remain, would you notice?

When I bought my car it had protectors fitted with broken lights underneath (lights still work fine though)

- I'm not sure if they were broken before or after the covers were fitted
