The LS1 covers just pop on. The LT1 covers should have come with velcro circles and two tabs besides the covers. One set of mating circles goes on the black, outer edge of the headlight/bumper area. The other end of the covers near the nose attach to the aforementioned tabs. Mount the tabs to lower portion of the headlight I believe. They are angled, I don't remember if they go on the flat bottom part or sideways, but either way, they go towards the center of the car. Hope this helps.
