I am actually going to recommend something else besides hot glue and Loctite (which is really just super glue).
You could use those to tack, but I am recommending DAP's silicone rubber. I have tested it out, and the thing is freaking solid. Of course, there's epoxy as well.

I was standing there debating wether or not to get epoxy. In the end I thought it was overkill. But I am rethinking that now.

Great mod Tony! I got HID AEs from John, which are awesome. Modding the AEs to make them brighter is one of the best appearance mods out there.

So far, I have one side painted and both clear lenses in. Tomorrow I will paint the other side, position the orions and test.

Yeah, I was surprised at how easy that part was. I was just hoping not to break one of the metal tabs or crack the lens because of the metal pressure ring.
