Sounds like you have got lights for an older standard Dexta with lights mounted either side of the nose cowl. You need grill-mounted lights for Supers and 'new look' standard Dextas which are slimmer.

My lights also stick out past the grille and they are genuine butlers ones.

Lights used for side mounting : Left Hand = 957E-13003 / Right Hand = 957E-13002

Lights used for mounting inside grill : LH = RH = D2NN-13005

These headlights are not that thick but are still sticking out of the grill.

I was lucky to find original grill mounted head-lamps.
