I bought a pair of cats eyes about 3 weeks ago but realised that they are too small. The outer lip does not fit under the headlight rim. I cant figure out a way to fix them on.
These might be the same kind... but not 100% sure.
Cats Eyes...
Anyone have an idea?

I think you take the outer ring off. There is a screw at the bottom of the headlight. Undo this. Place the catseye on top of the headlight and then put the outer ring on top thus holding the catseye in place.
Just screw the screw back up and bobs your uncle!
I think thats how anyway!

Thats what i thought at first the 'eye' was to small so doesnt even reach around the light...
So i guess bob's not even related?
How are those stone protectors fixed?

just so you know, they are illegal in the UK. You are not supposed to fit anything that obscures the output of the headlamp. Naughty ebay seller for not saying that!
I wouldn't panic too much (no-one will be looking for them), but technically........
