Got some aftermarket replacement headlights for an older Honda and they came with two broken tabs. Followed your guide and repaired them with ease. Thanks!
This helped me repair my BMW E46 fog and headlight saving me hundreds. Followed the vid to the tee including the epoxy and now both are better than before. Thank you
Will u guys do a Prius video? Like everything I would need to know to work on my own Prius? I’d really appreciate it, my car is how I make my money and I can’t afford to take it to a repair man. I’m handy I just don’t have the knowledge of this specific car. Prius 2015
incredible , thank toy for sharing! my rouge a year old and with no impact or accident the hinge got broke . ill use your method instead buying a new light kit
I get what you do with the wire and epoxy resin etc. But I am surprised that the first step is not glueing the broken lug to the lamp. You could glue it and then solder / melt it too, or just glue it. Would be stronger than melting it , no?
You can use a regular soldering iron for the repair he showed. They do make an actual plastic welding repair kit, which has the iron and special plastic rods for the exact type of plastic you are repairing. But they are not cheap at all. The other option is to use small pieces of the exact kind of plastic and melt that with a soldering iron. That would be a good alternative if you don't have epoxy.
if you spray some colour in the glue mix it will extend processing time by some minutes and you will have your glue in colour as well. Question: whats the name of your background music please?
thanks for the tip, I've also got a tip for you maybe for the future if you hear another song in youtube that you like just use the app shazam to identify the name of the track I usually use my pc to watch the video then shazam it with my phone :)
Is there any video on the internet showing you how to build your own headlight tabs ? My lights are perfect and only top tabs is broken. I bought the car like that and dont want to replace the headlights

I like your video. That was a really good and strong repair to the bracket. What's the thickness in millimeters of the aluminium wire you used please?
Thanks. You have helped me a lot.

I was in doubt in using plastic welding or epoxy. Now I'm sure I'll use both
Hope this helps me 🙏

Hi
Can anyone tell me if I can use any soldering iron to do this or is there a specific one for plastic welding ?
Thank you

U find anything
I know a carmechanic, he just drill a hole in the headlight and fasten it with screw. Now the headlight only get water inside.
🧐👍🏻

with this repair it will break again and easily. Just tighten the screw with some pressure
