are you talking about the lens or behind it? if it just behind it you can just use a bonding adhesive.

The only thing is they are EDM tails and hard to get. They were in good shape when shipped but broke in transit. They are insured but if they give me the full amount then I have to give up the tails, but if I can get them fixed they will pay for that.

Just trying to figure out what I want to do, and looking at all my options.

I wouldn't even mess with welding plastic, I'd be afraid they would leak, let me talk to my friend about getting a set of uk tails, if not I'll talk to a guy on TI.. they guy w/ ukdm bumper.. I know he had two sets 4sale...

theres no plastic welding that sorry, super glue if you wanna save it then use a clear bonding adhesive for the rest.
