My black rubber piece around my headlight came off. Any tips on getting it back on? I know i have to use the metal clips, but do i have to take headlight off to do that? Sorry for retarded question.

The headlight might be able to stay on the car, but the bumper has to come off for sure. I took my headlights off anyway just to make it a bit easier. This means you will need to aim the headlights when you're done.

Yeah. They're pretty annoying. But once they're on, you don't have to worry about them for a while.

I secured mine with 3M weatherstripping adhesive (and the metal clips). Its only a few bucks at an auto store and will hold the rubber on there for sure. Richee's right, its way easier to deal with this problem with either the bumper off or the lights completely off.
