    With the mini shrouds you have to drill two holes in the shrouds to fit the halo wires in to. Then just apply silicone to the bottom of the ring and use something like tape to hold the ring down until it dries. Or you can use super thin wire to hold the ring on, that's what lightwerkz does.

    Busted CV boots and lots of squeaks.
    Line them up on the shroud, and figure out where you want them. drill two very tiny holes on either side of the CCFL, in about 3-4 locations around the shroud. Then get yourself some twist ties from a bag of loaf bread or something (the kind with the paper around them). Strip off the paper and use the wire inside the twist tie to fix the light to the shroud. The wire in those ties is perfect for this. You won't see it when its on there. Its also very flexible and will form to the light. DO NOT TIE IT TOO TIGHT, or you will crack the CCFL.

    Silicone may discolor the light over time, I wouldn't put it on the light.

    There are step by step write ups on TRS website which include the drilling holes and securing the ring mentioned as well as pictures.

    Even IF it discolored you still wouldn't see it. Over a year on mine with no problems.
