Need help on fixing my HID bulb

The other day I was going to clean the inside of my headlights, so I disconnect the bulbs, and take off the headlights form the car. All of a sudden it gets real dark and looks like its oging to rain real bad. So, I hurry to put away everything and close my car, making sure nothing would get wet or messed up. I ran inside with the HIDs, but one bulb fell. My heart jumped, I felt the pain. I picked it up and analyzed it, looked fine, then I moved the bulb, and it moves around. Seems like this white substance in the base that holds the bulb still and what prevents it to move from the base has cracked due to the fall, so now when Im driving and I hit a bumb, you can see the light bouncing. My question is, what can I use to secure the bulb again. At first I thought plain old super glue, but its flammable, and the bulb gets really hot, any ideas? Thanks

You can use epoxy. That thing will hold up against very high temperatures and will hold your bulb forever. go to your local hardware store and they should have it.
