Ok so I've got to put my normal full beams back in instead of my aircraft landing lights :) :) for cert but I think I'm missing some clips or something
They just don't quite fit. Any one got any ideas or could check theirs for me please?

I've checked my Haynes manual and it shows nothing but my driving lamps have www clips

Lamps with clips (although they are spot welded to the lamp)

I had this issue with mine, ( now this was a few years ago )
I think the issue was difference between inner and outer bulbs.

outer lights should have 3 prongs
and inner lights should only have 2

from my memory there is slight different mounting/alignment between the 2

Right just to finish this post of so it might be useful to someone one day..

Normal lights on the outer with three prongs.

Full beam on the inner ( 2 prongs)

The cups that holds the lamps are can be used on either side (but mount differently depending on the side)

Normal lamps have a different mounting pattern so you can't swap either cups or lamps from inner to outer

That should do it.
