I've got them too, going to give mine a coat of clear laquer to make them match the one on the lower part of the steering wheel. Fit perfect and take seconds to fit.
How hard can it be?

How do they fit then?

no laquer on mine and a good match i think , they just replace the plastic ones which pull out . pull from the top and theres two pins with a round thicker end that push into holes in the steering wheel
