Default Plastic Welding

Need to know if anyone here can do it or know someone that can. My headlight assembly has a couple tabs broken off. Plastic welding seems to be the best fix, any other ideas?

im I-car certiffed PlasticWelding/Repair.and if you do get it plastic weldded make sure they use the same type of plastic that the TABS are made of. you CAN NOT use a differnt type of plastic to JUST MELT in to it .. IT will NOT Hold. SO make sure it melts TOP1/2 way tru 1 side ..let cool down .. then melt the other BOTTOM1/2.. to reJoin the TAB... im still not 2SURE about the plastic welder on TABS.. I would just use a "2part" glue . and just add glue to the headlight where its broke off and reshape a MAN MADE tab and drill a hole in the glue.. that glue has a 1-2 min try time as well as many other time setting you wont the fastest try time .. go to MATTOS on witchduck rd &VB blvd

Ya cuz, if not done right the plastic weld could just break off. I would go with the "2 part" glue and re make the tab
