How are Drl lenses fitted?

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Hey guys! I got a new set of Drl lenses but I'm not sure on what to use to attach them? Looks like it needs some sort of putty? Anyone here have any info? :)

I’ve used clear Araldite. So far so good. :D You need some form of temporary clip (old-fashioned bulldog-type paper grip or similar) to maintain pressure and hold the DRL lens in place during curing.
