I broke the leadlight plastic bracket, any recommendations as to the best type of glue for this? Ideas for repair? Don't hold the tractor color against me. :)

Check the piece for a triangle and a number in it or some letters...
'PC' is PolyCarbonite, 'PE ' is PolyEthylene,..PVC PolyVinylChloride....

The 'trick' is to buy the CORRECT adhesive.
Be sure to 'ruffup' the join area and allow the 'glue' to CURE....usually 24 hours...

Just a guess from pictures I could find online from other headlights it looks to be PP >GF20< translated this is polypropylene plastic that is reinforced 20% with glass fibers. If you going to glue it jb weld would work but plastic welding would be better.

Take a look at the polyvance videos on YouTube. The only special equipment you need is a soldering iron or wood burning tool and some of the same plastic. Or if you have a harbor freight nearby they have a plastic weld kit and some plastic rods for fairly cheep.
