I've had good success with the 2 part plastic bonders. The last one I used was JB Weld.

It's stronger than the entire tab now! I might have to go back and add some braces to the bracket since I can literally weld to almost anywhere on the headlight. Not the best looking solution, but it works!

Nice.
