They are supposed to be clamped on but as they are only 1mm bigger than standard pipes they just need to be firmly pushed on (I used a rubber mallet). Only problem is once on you won't get them off

Thanks Jagr, I will get some ordered up later.
One of these days I will buy a car and not change anything

Bulbs I had were Dipped (I paid around £50 from them so not sure what is going on with the price now) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xenon-CANBUS-H7-HID-Conversion-Kit-Ballast-6000k-2-Years-Warranty-Metal-Bulbs-/361201358354?hash=item5419475612:g:jG4AAOSwNSxUylbX&clk_rvr_id=1171117880970&rmvSB=tr...
