Help me secure my headlight blackouts!

Okay, I finally bought the blackouts for the headlights once I got fog lights. I want to install them where they will not fly off on the high way or cannot easily be snatched off. How do I do this in the mos secure way?

Most secure would be to use the optional screws in addition to the double-sided tape.

I think your car looks good as it is and it would be a shame to mess that up with some tacky high-school-kid fad accessory.

I'm gonna have to agree with Jza. I bought gts headlight covers my 87 camaro. I thought they would be so cool. First, they didn't fit near as well as I had hoped. There was almost a 1" gap between the covers and the hood. The black rubber trim around the edge looks kinda stupid. And you can't see **** at night, even with fog lights. I rear ended someone, and it cracked one of them, so I took them off. I liked it much better without. But if you really want them, the doublesided tape is plenty. Just make sure you clean the area real well with soap and water, then rubbing alcohol. Mark off where the pieces get taped on. Put them on, then wait at least 48 hours for the tape to cure, then put the covers on. If you do it right, they aren't going anywhere.
