What have you guys and gals done to repair a cracked head light? I have about a 4" long crack in mine and want to repair it to prevent water from entering. It is not bad, you can see it and feel it when you rub your fingernail across it.

Super glue?

Clear epoxy?

Thanks for your time.

I would try one of the new to consumers UV cured adhesive.
Goes on as a clear liquid, shine the small UV light provided and in 4 second the glue is hard.

Only professionals like dentists used to have such products.

Amazon.com sells a kit for about $13. Other hardware stores may be carrying similar products in your area.

It is not a miracle for all plastics but the quick cure eliminates any doubt.

Apply out of the sunlight, even cloudly light will make it sit up. Fishing tackle stores at least fly fishing stores also carry uv glue.
