Ok, guys! Thanks for the suggestions. I found a way, and it was so easy
I'll describe it here for future reference.  One end of the adjuster is a
"twist to lock" plastic mechanism . On the other end is a "pop to lock"
mechanism. The end that goes intl the metal aroud the light itself, is pop
to lock. Align the end of the adjuster just barely into the hole in the
metal. Take a pair of channel locks ( they work bet best because of the jaw
shape. Adjust the jaws so the adjuster fits lengthwise in the jaws, that is
one jaw at one end, and the other jat at the other end. This will be the
right opening. The jaws will be parallel to each other. Place one jaw under
the edge of the metal around the light, the other jaw on the other end of
the adjuster, then squeeze. The adjuster just pops in the hole and with the
little beads that are present but barely visible, it locks itself in. Do
all three and you are ready to mount the lamp on the metalbacking. It's
easy. Insert the adjuster end through the appropriate hole, twist to lock.
Mount the entire assembly back in the van and adjust.

Thats all there is to it.

Does anyone know of an easy way to install headlight adjusters? I'm having
a devil of a time getting my new adjusters I got from VC to snap in place
in the metal around the lamp itself.
