Headlight tab repair using airless plastic welder?
I searched and couldn't find anything on this.... has anyone ever used an airless plastic welder to repair a broken headlight support tab? I found a youtube video on this and it looks easy enough, but I was just curious if anyone has done this with any success? I know Sewell sells repair brackets and some have used epoxy (gorilla glue, etc...), but I'm just looking at all options before I try to repair my headlight.

My only concern with PL Premium is that it says it's not intended for polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene. I think I might give JB Weld's Plastic Bonder a shot first. It has a strength of 3770 PSI and sets in 15 minutes. It's worth a shot for less than $10..... then if all else fails I can try the repair tab I ordered from Sewell or the plastic welder.
