Default Best Glue for Headlight surrounds

The Rubber weatherstripping on the outside of my headlights has come loose? Anyone have any reccomendation as far as glue is concerned?

Also, should i sand down the old glue?

Thanks,

I just bought some sort of super glue at the local hardware store my buddy's parents own. It said it's good for rubber and plastic....being that one is made of rubber, and the other is plastic, I figured it would work, and it did. Just look through all the glues you can find and see which one is safe for rubber and plastic.

I see you have Halos too.....they use some cheap *** glue, that's for sure, but eh, I guess that's the reason a pair of halos cost less than a replacement light from the dealer.
