A two-part epoxy should work OK.

Megulairs step 2 and a buffing wheel work great. Just don't burn the plastic - keep the wheel moving. It will work by hand but takes longer.

Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Been there, done that. I used a two-part epoxy on my inner marker lights, and it worked great. Make sure you do not fill in the little "weep" holes near the bottom or you could have a condensation problem inside the lens.
I have used a plastic polish and scratch remover with my dremel and a small buffing wheel and it worked great.

I always use silicone RTV to glue stuff like that together.

I second the RTV solution , be sure to use clear or translucent tho as you will see any other color once assembled. Ashley

hey. your best bet is to go to your local ford dealer and buy new headlights. as a matter of fact all the front lights are still available from ford. and at a reasonable price.
i understand about the svo lights and its too bad.

I used a clear silicone adhesive for mine, it holds up great plus it can be cut to get the lens back off if necessary, unlike epoxy.
