i suggest baking them, there are many videos on youtube on how to do so properly. Or you could try to take out the headlight bulbs and see if you could put the strip in the hole and mount them then reinstall the bulbs.

FYI, folks you can't just "bake apart" all headlight housings. There are some that are more or less fused together (a la 2000+ Impala) and just can't be separated.
