What Clear Epoxy for 5.5 gen fog lights?????

I used some clear drying glass epoxy I bought at pep-boys to seal up the small holes I have on both the driver and passenger side 5.5 gen fogs. It looked great for about a week, then it has progressively turned yellow (I assume from the heat).
Has anyone found an epoxy/clear glue substance that they have been able to use on their fog lights without it discoloring???
Thanks

They might have it, or any parts store. I dont remeber what type i bought but my glass fogs were cracked and had a smallish hole so i just got some clearish looking silicone and pushed it through the gaps with my fingers so just enough to seal it up. Theyre pretty pitted so i cant really see the silicone, so im not sure how it turns out, but i know itll work better than epoxy since that stuff is stiff and wont be as good when the bulbs get really hot (silcone will expand with the heat, while the epoxy will harden and and probably fall out after enough heat cycles)
