    They don't actually 'lock' in???

    why are they off by the way? if you've been changing the headlights they might be a little bit too low preventing the trim getting into the gap, thats the only thing I can think of anyway, something must be blocking it for it to pop out of one side when you push the other

    I'll try wiggle the headlight and force it in
    No innuendo intended
    And I've bought those clips before and they just dont seem to sit right :/

    I glued mine in.
    
    My lights work fine, so won't have to remove them.
