Default What are these for?

I got these in my brake line kit.
Do i need to use these? What are they for?

Those are replacement clips for the hose, where it clamps to the frame.

They hold the brake lines to the mounts on the car side of the lines. The opposite end than the caliper. You could reuse your original ones, but the new ones probably look better.

You mean i should put the shiny new ones on a dirty underbody...that might attract attention to the mess...
