Question on glueing lights

I was wondering how to you glue the headlights and tail lights on without them turning "foggy" from the glue drying on them. Thanks

You have to use glue that dries clear. The two i use are testors white glue (triangle container) and microscale crystal clear.

Ive only used white glue myself but i hear that tamiya clear acrylic does the job.

Re: Question on glueing lights

I use Formula 560 canopy glue most of the time because its very strong. I've used X-22 Clear for adhering tiny photo-etch parts to my clear coated car bodies with good results so I think I might try it on headlights as Yes Man suggests. I think the important thing is to experiment and figure out what works best for each application. While all these suggestions will work some are better than others in terms of bond strength or dry visibility. You may find yourself using totally different adhesives for a headlight than, say a windshield.
