    180SX - Kouki Lights Material

    Bit of an odd request if anyone knows the material of the casing at the rear of 180SX Kouki lights (the black casing that faces the interior of the car, NOT the lens)?

    I have damaged one of the clips/bolt holders on the rear and have bought some Gorilla Glue to replace. Gorilla Glue advises not to use on Polyethylene and Polypropylene plastics but no idea what material this is made out of.

    See attached pic for part numbers (initially thought these were the material codes but they’ve got me nowhere)



    Thanks in advance

    Just try it on a little bit out the way and see if it bonds to it or not

    Ahh so it’s a case of it not bonding? I thought it might have reacted and caused damage if incorrect

    PP is Polypropylene, which is what the housing is, PE is Polyethylene and PMMA is what the lens is made out of.
    I've used epoxy based glues on Polypropylene with no problem, just make sure you clean it and give it a good key up with 180 grit or coarser sandpaper before applying it
