i think you can use a small dab of silicone on them. (dont quote me on it though) from what i have heard crazy glue could cause the lens of the LED to haze...that said i used crazy glue and mine seem fine...

If you get crazy glue in side the lens yes but your putting it on the out side . I tried using frag glue it it seam to work good for that right now

Hazing is a definite possibility with cyanoacrylate based glues like superglue. I've used a small dab of silicone with good results. I also used some thermal epoxy on the optis of my fuge light because i had nothing else on hand. That seems to have worked quite well in fact.
