I have a front panel with 3 pre-drilled mounting holes for LEDs. They fit perfectly but are only held in by friction and I'd like to stick a dab of some adhesive / sealant around the base to ensure they can't be pushed in if pressure is applied from the front.
 
The panel is regular old aluminium and the LEDs are 5mm through hole type, what kind of glue would work for that?

crazy glue

I've no idea what that is I'm afraid - is it something cyanoacrylate based? If that's a brand then it might not be available here in the UK.

Krazy-Glue is a brand name, but yes its just a generic cyanoacrylate glue.
 
If the holes are large enough you can buy purpose made panel mount LED holders.

Yep.... Krazy glue is cyanoacrylate based.

It's a brand, and yes it's cyanoacrylate based. They're available off Amazon.

I have found silicon-based caulk works well. It can also be reversed rather easily over any other adhesive.
 
Also cheap and widely available.

you can find a LED grommet.

If you weren't in the UK I would recommend this as well:

They work very well.
