Headlight Repair

[james accordino]

Go to a professional auto body supply place.  There
are systems to effectively repair almost ALL types of
plastic.  They can advise you of the correct method
for that type.  It MIGHT involve "plastic welding".
Maybe you can find a body shop (probably the largest,
nicest, most well equipped one in your area to do this
for you.  I've used several different systems to avoid
paying really high replacement costs on various
plastic parts with good results.  One product won't
work for all types of plastic.
