Hi Bill,
Those "nodules" are positioning studs and have nothing to do with the threaded
studs that go through the fender holes. Place the rubber gasket with one
rubber stud at the 12 o'clock position and another at the 9 o'clock for the
left light and 3 o'clock for the right light. There should already be holes
in the fender and shroud surrounding the large light opening. Dry fit your
bucket to the fender/shroud holes with the wires on the top of the bucket and
rotate the bucket until the threaded studs enter their respective holes,
remembering that the 12 o'clock hole is for the rubber gasket stud and the
wires need to come out at the upper area of the bucket. The adjusters fit on
a totally different ring of the head light mechanism. If you have a Moss
catalogue look at the blow up to see generally how the rings and gaskets are
set up. I have a bj8 (single light) but I don't think there is much
difference in this area. Wish I had a picture of this area on my car but I
don't although I do have a pre headlight installation picture which shows all
the holes surrounding the headlight hole which I will forward. Hope this
helps. It's really an easy installation once you figure out the orientation.
Good luck,
George Haywood
