Exclamation Glue for headlight mod?

Hey guize, as we all know there is plenty of nice write ups to open your headlights and paint them black.

A question I couldn't find adressed however, is how people manage to get the Morimoto 90mm xB Halos to stay in place on the projector shroud. So two things I'm looking for:

1. What glue is used? What glue is best for such an application (considering the heat and need for it being invisible)

2. How do you secure the hole made for the wire running from the halo to outside the headlight through the shroud? Do you need to fill it with silicon? I imagine it needs to be somehow closed off to avoid moisture in the housing.

Thanks for any insight guys

Lots of adhesives available can handle high heat. Masterbond, Bond IT, and Permatex. I have permatex holding a plastic pc for my intakes. As hard as plastic and can be sanded once dried and cured.
