aftermarket indicators are such a headache, iv got them ones you have or very similar. I hate the mechanism used to hold them in, never quite works properly with the aftermarket lights.

I got mine from Veedubmachine. This is my 2nd set, I done like Alex said, and they are fitting better now, just a little bit more work and they will be fine.

I think with the headlights and rearlights, I will just tint spray them.

Go for film like Greg did, least then if your not satisfied with the result you can just peel it off again.
Tint spray can be removed too but its alot more hassle.

Film FTW 8)
Will it past an MOT with it on ?

Yeah it will pass an MOT with the film on, especially on the fog lights.

If you tinted the headlights then that may be an issue for some garages but with the foglights it will be fine.
