Prolly plastic epoxy for the re-assembly, Home Depot sells a plastic epoxy that I repaired a tail light with, its held up for two years now just fine.

Ive never taken apart a tail light but on my fog light I put it in the oven at about 300 for a few minutes. Just enough to loosen the glue up. Then I pryed the lens off. I used black RTV sealant to put it back together. Worked great
