epoxy resin (aralidite) is the 2 part glue but for fixing the headlight bracket you\'d probably be better off using epoxy putty (milliput, mix & fix) as its like bluetac which drys solid in about 5 mins and when its dry you can drill it, sand it, paint it and it sticks just about as firmly as epoxy resin
