Default How are you guys securing your LED's to Honcho body headlights?

Just wondering what you guys do to secure the LED in the back of the Honcho headlight buckets? I painted the side where I would attach the LED's chrome and amber, and I just want to make sure whatever I use (perhaps shoe goo?) won't wreck the paint. I used the little jars of Model Testor paint to paint them.

I used a little dab of CA glue, only on the back side to avoid hazing the plastic. Hot glue would work. Shoe goo would work too.

For the guys that are going to use glue, did you paint the inside or outside of the bezel? The snug idea sounds really good to me, then I know I won't mess up the paint if it comes apart.

I'm using the plastic grommets that came with the Honcho kit.

Thats what I did too, that way, when they break, or you want to remove them, they are easy to remove!!!!

Sorry I meant to say plastic grommets, they are part number AX80045A and should be in your instructions manual.
