I plan on taking off my front bumper tomorrow to fix my headlight tabs, as they're broken. What do you guys recommend using to fix the tabs?
I would like to avoid spending a lot of money to get new headlights. -Matt This post has been edited by GotToyota: May 19, 2008 - 11:21 PM |

ive used a sodering iron before to melt the plastic and spread the metled plastic across the gaps to fill them in. once the plastic cools it becomes hard again. It takes touch cuz you dont want to melt away too much ya know. Also the type of break determines the outcome. Ive done this to two lights and they ahve held strong for 3 years. this is the cheap way, d-man way is the better way to do it
