go to bunnings and look in the adhesive section and there u go.

lol, sry that probably sounded rude :oops:
i used some plastic bog as they are just what i had laying around that can take the +100 degrees of heat needed to seal the lights back up. but i'm sure there are better and clear adhesives around, just have a look make sure it can take the heat of the oven.

and because i used a plastic bog as opposed to actual glue, i drilled a couple of small holes at where the ccfl would touch the plastic of the light so it can grip better, and also cut out a space for the wiring to go through the plastic. i'll see if i can get some free time in the next couple of days and clean up the brief diy burried somewhere in this thread, since will is being lazy :P

and enjoy your pink angel eyes phantom lol.
btw u 2 (phantom and glamorous) should just double check the colours of your lights before u stick them in... i'm pretty sure i didnt mess them up but i was also drinking at the time :oops:

Got my replacement today, thanx B0rep. And it wasnt even broken. I havent plugged it in to check it works, but seeing as its in one piece, I think it should be ok.

Now to put them in... 8O

Does anyone know of any brand of glue which they can recommend to stick the rings in place.

Something which can withstand the heat.

Yano mentioned Plastic Bog, but I couldn't find that in shops in the UK or on Ebay.

Is there another name for this?

go to your local hardware store and say this to one of the guys that work there: "excuse me, i'm just doing a DIY job, and I need something that will stick glass to plastic perminately and with stand about 130 degrees of heat for a short period of time, what would you reconment?"

lol, i suggest using a glue that can take the heat, plastic bog is a bit harder to use (more things can go wrong with it if u dont knwo what u r doing :) )

but i'll go check what brand of plastic bog i used when i get home tonight :)

First with parkers or just foglights, just the blue ones come on :
