fuuuuuddgge!

Got some HID's for my fogs, thought it would be a good idea to take the reflector out of the light. Heated it up real nice with a heat gun super hot, start to pry the glass off and POW! Glass breaks. It broke pretty clean and I can put the broken piece in place and it seals up but I'm not sure how to attach the broken piece to the light. Hot glue? Super glue? I'm clueless. I feel like an idiot. Anyways.. just venting the anger and my stupidity to you guys.

its not going to be perfect.. you can put a tiny amount on though with that stuff so visibility should be minimal.... you bone head hahahaha.. sorry i had to.

haha. I feel so stupid. Now I'll probably be out $100 for a new light. Live and learn. I just need something to keep it together for now. So gorilla glue would be the best bet?

i think so yes only because you are going to get the best hold with the minimal amount applied.. Also stands up pretty well to heat.

Just cover them up with lamin-x, you won't notice the crack.

Got a BIG rock chip on the fogs on my GF. Put yellow lamin-x over them and you practically can't even tell.
