    have any of your guys JB weld raptor lights on your Pro grill?
    Was wondering how did it hold up?

    LOL I'm not sure zip ties are better than JB weld. Though god knows I've used plenty of both on my truck over the years.

    Probably would work better to use that tape they stick trim on with. Like the door ding protectors and stuff. It would hold up better outdoors
    Jb weld is hit or miss and itll goop out the sides when you out the light on.
    Or you could just screw it down with the holes the light has for screws.

    JB is the hail mary of roadside repairs.

    3m automotive foam mounting tape would be my choice.

    So I ended up using 3m double side tape to hold down my bracket that I made than I Jb weld the bracket to the grill.
