I didn't have good luck with epoxy when I glued my broken headlight doors on the W116. So far one has broken again in the same places after not much time.
I've now glued it with Shoe Goo and some thin aluminum strips (soda can metal) as reinforcement over the cracks. Fortunately it's all out of sight once installed. Hoping for better results, as the Shoe Goo retains some flexibility once cured, whereas epoxy does not.
