Headlight Corner Reflector Broke
While pulling my housing out to change a bulb, I accidentally grabbed the corner reflector and broke off the tab that holds the front corner on.
Got back to work and put on some thick 2-part epoxy to attach that point directly to the headlight housing, hopefully it holds. If it falls off, then I'll buy a new one. Anyone else have ideas on other things that I could do about it? the epoxy will take a few hours to cure so I can still wipe if off (for now). |

I simply used super glue. Stays on even past 100mph. ;)

Swapping for headlights without reflectors is an option, Hamstuh, but some folks like the stock look. For the epoxy, S50Sinner, make sure the surface is clean before applying for a strong bond. Super glue (like Beelzy mentioned) can work too, but be careful not to get it on the lens itself. Good luck with the fix.

Thanks everyone, it's holding strong so far. I'll make sure to give it a little push with my hands every once in a while, if it pops off under finger pressure I'll try sanding the surface and re-applying the epoxy with more contact points.
I definitely agree that they don't need to be separate pieces, but I like the OEM lights, and plan to restore mine at some point, maybe paint the insides of the housings like particlewave did a decade ago. I'm a big fan of the amber turn signals and old-school reflector housings. I'll update if/when they fall off. |
