How fix plastic headlight housing, glue or new?
Hi fellow Honda lovers,
the right front headlight plastic housing broke, when i slammed the hood down, anyway, i ducktaped in place, but to pass inspection...can i drill a hole (s) and connect with wires to keep it in place. this housing holds all the light fixtures for the right front (well except the fog/parking lights). its a 97 accord coupe. thanks anyone.

That must have been one good slam to do this.
Unless you live in East Butth*le somewhere, i seriously doubt the mmonkey snot and bailing wire will do the trick, inspection-wise.

I was going to suggest 1a auto parts as a sourse for replacement headlights. These are manufactured by Eagle Products and have worked out quite well.

But, I must warn you; installing headlamps on a 5th gen can be problamatic.
