I would not use glue for the reason mentioned. Instead I would try to
"cage" the two halves together with safety wire. Start be making a grid of
four wires secured together by twists at their meeting points. Then place
the grid over the lens, wrap the wires around the back of the lights and
twist the ends together tight enough to hold things in place. Do not twist
the ends to tight for fear of breaking the lens.
Best regards,
Tom
