depends what car and headlight, some have a rubber gasket and clips and others you can use silicon.

I stuck on 2 onto a mk2 last week with ordinary high grade silicone mastic.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Standard silicon is very heat resistant. I did a temporary bodge on an exhaust just get home and it lasted for months. I assumed it would burn off or melt but it stayed fine. I’ve also stuck a hot water urn together with it and that lasted years.

Würth do a fantastic polyurethane window adhesive which would be perfect for your lamps

Thanks I used sticks like sh*t, guy at wickes said it be the one to use to as it's clear plus can take extreme temp as headlight bulbs get hot, and is waterproof I put it on last night it tried but little bit sticky so will let it get completely dry before putting it back on
