Default AHS Bright Kit assembly

I got my AHS kit in today, but I have a problem. Apparently, I need a drillbit to drill holes all over the place (which I didn't know before ordering the kit). Is there a way that I can use a strong adhesive such as Gorilla Glue or WeldBond (both apparently stick metal to wood) for the entire assembly of this product? I'm a bit without male assistance here, and I am not all about drilling holes in metal.. If I can use a glue to save me the trouble of hiring someone to build a kit I already paid a lot for, I'd be quite overjoyed.

It might do well to add that these adhesives are also resistant to high temperatures.

IMO, you would be very much better off using a drill to make holes and then using screws or nuts and bolts to hold the reflector, clips and ballast in place. Many locally owned hardware shops will do it for you. You may have to purchase the drill bit that was used and that's about all. The labor would be free in most cases.

Using glue is just too risky and unsafe, I believe.
