Question mounting light buckets???

What's up everyone?! Noob here looking for a clean way to mount Axial light buckets to an hpi 79 Ford body. Thought about using a hot glue gun but it would look ugly and be pain to remove later...any and all ideas will be very much appreciated, thx!!

Silicone sealant (RTV) or Shoe Goo (Goop). I have used both, Shoe Goo can attack some paints so be careful. As for the silicon, stick with the stuff that has low odor, keeps the wife/girlfriend happy (I use Motorcraft silicone since I have many tubes of it from my mechanic days).

I tryed hot glue, works for a few weeks then lets go.
I use Shoe Goo now, works great, 6 months later still holding

I never thought of using Silicone sealant, I'll have to try that

X3 on the Shoe Goo.

The added benefit is the happy feeling you get after sniffing it for a while!
