What do you use to glue ur lights on with?

please help i dont want to end up with fog.

Krystal Klear by Microscale, most hobby shops stock it. It's a water based white glue that dries clear, and if you mess up, you can wash it off.:)

I use Testors clear parts cement & window maker for all clear parts,but some modelers use clear enamel or white glue.

same here.

the stuff is awsome IMHO

I just bought some tacky glue. it dries clear so it should work, but I havnt tried it out yet.

I love using Formula 560 canopy glue. It's like very sticky white glue, it holds parts well while it dries, and messes can be wiped clean w/a damp towel before it dries. It dries clear. Great stuff, designed for gluing aircraft canopies. I also use it to glue parts to the body like spoilers. No chance of damage you might get from missing the mark w/superglue. I think it's stronger than Micro Krystal Klear. Watch crystal cement works well too, and also clear Tamiya acrylic or Future floor wax.

THIS IS THE SHIT! plus if u break a small peice off or need to make a new trun signal or small ghlass peice u can do it with this sutff.

Elmers white glue user here... can be removed even after it's dry.

This Krystal Klear stuff sounds like the ticket, will have to order some soon.

However if you don't have access to the likes of Krystal Klear you could try what I use which is clear gloss paint. I use Testors enamel but acrylics would probably work just as well. Just apply a tiny amount with a brush, let it dry a bit to 'tack up', then position the part. Takes a short while to dry of course and the bond is not as strong as some regular glues but for light lenses and small PE parts it is more than enough.

White glue, cheap and easily available. There are special glues for modelling, but they are expensive and not very easily found.

Btw Ghost_9418 if the glue dries clear it doesnt mean it cannot damage the clear part.

Kristal Klear if I need a lot of stick, otherwise any old white glue/wood glue/PVA. If ind it's the same as Kristal Klear but a little less stickey. A whole lot cheaper and easier to find mind you...
