Silcon Sealer/Glue available in black, white, almond, 'metal', and clear; should
work and is easily cut apart with a knife or box-cutter in the future.

This really is LBC related:-)

Tonight, while changing a light bulb on my driving lights (Hella FF700,
FWIW) I snapped two little ears off.  The lamps are fine and once the bulb is
replaced will work well, but lacking those two tabs the front and the back half
will not stay together.  The down and dirty fix is to glue the lamp together,
but this will eliminate the ability to ever change the bulb again in the future.

Can anyone suggest a glue that will hold, yet remain soft enough to come apart
in 5 or 10 years?  Both sides are that hard plastic like used on modern cars
body panels.

Any other thoughts, fixes or suggestions would also be appreciated.
