Default installing headlamp grilles

To those who know how to do this, could you tell me where to bolt the two pieces of metal up? I got a headlamp assembly and started working on it but they didnt match up where I had in mind and I dont know which is to go where seeing that they are slightly angled and of different design.

Cheers.

That I do. I have a set of MKI and MKII head lamps. But where exactly do they bolt onto? I thought they bolted onto the outside of the housing but it is way too small. Like it goes on either side of the actual sealed bulb and bolts into some place inside.

Okay, here is the only picture I have to go from. As of now, I do not know where to align the grilles to bolt into the headlamps. I'm almost wondering if my headlamps are different. That would be really annoying. If someone could take some pics, it would be really helpful.

Cheers

Default light grilles

been looking at this too sinse i have mine stripped at mo and looks like you have to drill out the pop rivets holding the sealed beam cup to the housing and use them as the fixing points, bolting on the inside of housing like you said...

going to have a go making some i think...
