Default JDM Headlights?

Anybody know how to best repair a small cracked piece off of some JDM headlights? I bought them in pretty good condition and in the pictures they were fine (they had the same stanley manufacturing code) but what it seems like is that they received this damage in shipment. I just want to fix them to preserve moisture getting inside.

what exactly is cracked? if its a plastic piece, can it be seen? plastic weld from autozone will work fine but will look like **** if your not careful with it.

I would go to any auto parts store or hardware store and get a a good 2-part epoxy for plastic that dries clear.

Super glue will fog up white where you apply it and it is a weak bond. Other cheap adhesives will turn orange or yellow in the sunlight.
