Soldering gun does magic
I used soldering gun to blend the plastic together, it is easyer if you have some same kind of plastc around, so you just cut the piece of it, and using soldering gun glue/blend everything together.. As for making them even stronger (the mounts) i sometime use some thin metal wire, and blend it in the mounts with soldering gun. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

I dont know how it is called in english.... But the plastic that the headlights are made of does glue and solder very very good. As for different types of plastic not glueing together - yes, some types may never glue to other types of plastics..
