1. A connection element for adhering to a component surface of a first component, so that by means of the connection element, a second component is fastenable at the first component, with the connection element comprising:
a. a base element having an adhesive side with an adhesive surface as well as an assembly structure for connecting with the second component, wherein
b. the base element consists of a thermoplastic plastic material with a temperature of continued use of at least 130° C. which is not penetrable with light, and
c. the base element comprises at least one irradiation region so that the base element is irradiatable with light in the irradiation region such that light energy penetrates the base element, wherein
d. the assembly structure is arranged on a side of the base element that is opposite to the adhesive side or the assembly structure is arranged on a side of the base element that is arranged laterally to the adhesive side, and
e. the irradiation region is formed by a break-through and with the break-through being closed by means of a coating which consists of a material that is irradiatable with light and with the coating closing the break-through from the adhesive side of the base element.
