Issues fitting Angel Eye headlights on 2013 SR

Hi guys,
I recently bought some Angel Eye headlights off ebay but they don't seem to fit https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2428362265.
I'm just curious is there a trick to installing them, am I missing something really obvious?
The plastic behind the low beam seems to be intefereing with the sheet metal directly above the light, to the point that I can't get the top mounting brackets to reach where they should.

Since you posted in gen 8 section of the forum I persume you have gen 8 car. Just checking if the lights fit your actual vehicle mate?

Looks like I posted in the wrong section, it's a 2013 Hilux, my bad.

Check your bullbar fitting instructions.
I fitted new headlights when I fitted my MMC bar & there is a small plastic tan under the light housing that needs to be removed.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

I did manage to get them to fit, but I've really had to jam them in there, and there's no access to the highbeam bulbs now because the cover is pushed up hard against the sheet metal of the car.
