Default Fork Lowers install... ???

Hey guys. My fork lowers came in today (and the baffle which I've already installed. That was the easy part!). Here's a pic of them.

My question is, should I use the bolts that came with them, or try and use the acorn nut bolts already on the bike? The windshield pops off. And I can tell that if I loosen the acorn nuts, the passing lamps/turn signals will just slide off too.

Do I attach these under, or over (outside), of the passing lamp brackets? There's no instructions in the packaging.

Got it figured out. Man, what a difference!!!! Took it out for a short ride and the only wind I felt was at the top of my head. It was calm as could be behind my shield. Before, I was getting a lot of turbulence. This was almost like riding in a car, but with a better view!

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics.
