Topic #25497 4 posts Started by JoKeRkId613
my passenger side low beam has all three plastic brakcets broken. i remember seeing one of doggy's posts where he fixed the plastic with something. almost looked like he blended it with something. anyone know what it was. doggy, help me out. thanks!
Soldering gun does magic >smile.gif>

I used soldering gun to blend the plastic together, it is easyer if you have some same kind of plastc around, so you just cut the piece of it, and using soldering gun glue/blend everything together..

As for making them even stronger (the mounts) i sometime use some thin metal wire, and blend it in the mounts with soldering gun.

doggy do you know what type of plastic it is? I know that different types won't bond with each other. abs maybe?
I dont know how it is called in english.... But the plastic that the headlights are made of does glue and solder very very good. As for different types of plastic not glueing together - yes, some types may never glue to other types of plastics..
