Elmer's white glue.  It dries clear and won't fog plastic.

thanks for the post, did not want to fog up the head lamps when i went to cement them if you know a way to do it please let me know I haven't been building that long or built that many. I liked the yellow rims better I think it made the car flow alittle better.

Spudzero,

I use either the testors tube cement or their clear cement.  If using it for small pieces such as the headlight covers, I apply it with a toothpick.  The clear cement is like a slightly thinned white glue.  It takes a little time to set up, but dries clear.  One way to avoid fogging if using superglue, is to dip the glass in Future and then let it dry-just like the airplane guys.  I've never used it but some guys use watch crystal cement-it's used to glue the lens of the watch in place.  Another possibility is Microscale Kristal Kleer.

What kind of glue do you use?  There are a couple of ways to get away with it without fogging them up.  For myself, I use this glue I found at hobby lobby called "Extreme Power", pretty much super glue for model kits.  It doesn't smell as strong, it holds good, and doesn't take hours on hours to dry.  If you keep the tip of it cleaned out you can draw a small enough line that you'd be able to put those headlight covers on without them fogging. 

I've also heard if you use the "model cement" type (blue tube from testors) you can use a toothpick to apply bits small enough that it wouldn't fog up the headlights.  

I know your pain though.  I've messed up kits before by having the lights or even worse, the windshield get fog on it 

 I'm sure someone better at this than me can help better though but that's just my 2 cents.
