MG MGA - where do these go

Can anyone tell me where these rubber grommets go? There are two and they came in a 9 peice wire harness grommet set. Car is a 1960 1600 with the wiring harness replaced by previus owner. I don't see any evidence of this grommet. Any help would be appericated.

I don't own an MGA, but aren't they for the headlamp bowl ?

Andrew is correct. My wire harness came with them. I also purchased entire new headlamp assemblies and they came with them already attached. I ended up with 2 extra grommets also.

That's what I was going to say. They push through from the inside of the bowl.

Thanks, I was going to guess the headlamp bowl but they look nothing like the ones on the bowl. Which brings me to another point, why on earth are headlamp wires entering the top of the bowl? Seems like a great way to assure roadsplash travels down the wire into the bowl and onto the headlamp contacts. Doesn't having the wires exit from the bottom make more sense?

I was thinking the same yesterday when I went out to look at my car following your first post.
