Default Major 01 light upgrade. A couple retro questions first.

Alright guys, starting a major light upgrade tomorrow. My 30" LED light bar from okledlightbars.com will be here tomorrow so hopefully it will be mounted then too. Last night I ordered my projector retrofit from TheRetrofitSource.com and coming I have Morimoto MH1 projectors, 3five ballasts, 5000K bulbs, and Gatling Gun shrouds.

I've got a pretty good idea on how to do everything, I'm just not sure what to use to secure my shrouds? I've seen where some used super glue, silicon, or epoxy... What's the best adhesive to keep them put, I don't want them to come off going down the road and have to re-bake them.

Subscribed for pics! Only seen one pic of your body style with retros, and they looked awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with
