Just wondering what it should look like and how easy it is to do it.

Unfortunately no, as once they are in the headlight you don't notice it. Fairly easy to do. All I did was line up the edge of the tape with the center "seam" of the ring on the inboard side and then trimmed it flush with a knife. Cleaned the assembly well with an alcohol pad and put them in. If you are going to use tape it does add a little to the circumference of the ring so it will be a snug fit. Just be careful not to bend or put pressure on the rings as they are VERY FRAGILE! I went this direction so that if I ever need to replace a ring it will be easier to remove. It seems as though most used a silicone adhesive to put them in. Patience is the key.
