Default Fog screen issues

I purchased some Fog screens off the auction site ( first mistake ) and I just don't really understand how to install them. They seem to push all the way back to the actual fog light but from looking @ pictures on here it doesn't look like there suppose to. I've also read that I should use 3M tape or Velcro ( I have both ) but i don't really know where to put it once i get them seated correctly ( which I can't really do). Does any-one have a link with some detailed pictures of this being done ( seated and taped/Velcro) ?

Throw them away, they're useless. You can get a good set with the full frames that fit correctly for about 60 bucks. Sorry man, take it from a guy that's been there, done that. I was really penny wise, pound foolish.

Check out www.rpidesigns.com for a great set of screens at a terrific price. I have these for over 2 years and they look great! To install, use the Velcro method Patches has illustrated above, then using a thin sheet of cardboard between the two Velcro surfaces, slide them in until they are in position, then pull out the cardboard!

What are the 2 tab holes on the housing bottom used for?
Are the screens factory installed on Z06's with double sided tape as well?
