Which glue for Umnitza Angel Eyes

[we350z]

Wondering if anyone can help me here. I have a 2000 X5 4.4i and I got the Predator ICE Chromium Angel eyes. They did not come with clips. Umnitza claims on this vehicle that they need to be glued to the lenses. I assume they mean the actual xenon lenses not the outer plastic cover? They also said I should use some sort of silicon based clear glue. Could anyone suggest exactly which silicon glue would be best for this application? I don't want to have to open the headlights twice...

Also gonna break the orange waffles.

This is what I did on my 03' 4.0. I drill a few very small holes on the the plastic lens and on the outside egde on the A/E rings. Basicaly 2 holes at the top left (11 O'clock), 2 holes at the top right (1 O'clock) and 2 holes at the bottom (6 O'clock). Then I tie the A/E rings to the lens with a clear thin fishing line. When it done, you can't tell the difference.

Good Luck!

rubber cement? what about silicone glue?

So this is still in question - marine silicone, epoxy or cement? Does it matter or are any of these good solutions??

Is that the same as the DAP RTV Marine/Auto Silicone I have? The Beacon1 says to avoid direct sunlight... makes me think it could shrink/crack.

I think I am good with the Marine grade 100% RTV. I know someone who used that and is still holding strong after 4 years. Who knew there were so many glues - prob many of them will work just fine.
