Cefiro Headlights Installed! Question...

I just installed my one piece Cefiro Headlights today! I will post pics tomorrow when I take them!

I do have one question, for those who have done it, how did you get the rubber piece to stay around the headlight? My headlights do not fit exactly right. I really had to push hard to get them in there, but the rubber molding on the outside of the corner part of the headlight does not fit on correctly. Any suggestions? Please let me know! Thanks!!!

I had a similar problem, one of the clips on the end of the corners clicked right into place but the other one did not. The other was in place fine but it would wable a little bit if you pushed on it when the hood was open. When the hood was shut it would not move it all and looked perfect.

what did you do about the rubber molding on the outside of the light? mine did not fit correctly, and I don't think it looks that great on there. I put silicon to hold it on there, but it still did not fit correctly.

also, how do you "aim" the headlights? The Cefiro headlights aim a little too high...? I will take pics today!
