Which glue to paste Projector Lens to Plastic Headlights?

mtine · 02-18-2019, 10:26 PM

Hi Guys,
I modified the headlights of my 335i e92 2010 changing the cornering lights lens (the transparent plastic) and installing a morimoto glass lens (same lens as low/high beam).

My big question is which glue you guys recommend to paste the glass lens with the plastic?

I have tried epoxy and Gorilla Glue... nothing works!!

Just wondering, but what are you trying to glue the lens to? Like what exactly is making contact with each other?

I'm trying to glue the lens to the chrome plastic
Maybe this picture it's better:

The lens should not be glued to any plastic. The shroud which is what I think you are pointing to in the picture is attached to the projector housing... the lens is mounted to a cage that mounts to the front of the reflector.

I can't for the life of me understand why you would glue the shroud to the lens. Maybe that isn't what you are trying to do, but your picture doesn't clear things up much. Take a few from different angles and try to show us what you are trying to complete.

The clear lens should just drop into the old cage, no glueing...
