Underbody Led (HELP please...)
hi guys, i bought two of this with 120cm each.
i am planning to install it under body which will turn on only when the door is opened. just wondering how can i place the strips under my car body? i can't find any hook or hole to hold/zip ties the strips. i taught of using Double sided tap but i do not think it is a good idea. as i Really don't want the strip to come off while i am driving, this will be a disaster. any good suggestion? thank guys..... . . . |

I'm a huge fan of Plexus adhesives for plastic to plastic or plastic to metal bonding:

Silicone or if you never want it to come off, 3m 5200 marine sealant

Those LED strips don't last too long when used externally, based on what I've heard. I'd ask the place you bought them from if they'll work.
I'm a big fan of 3M double sided tape. The stuff sticks REALLY well if you clean both surfaces and get the tape warm. |

Yes i use them for my interior LED lights and they have yet to come off with constant kicking from passengers. Where did you get yours from, im curious to replace the ones I have under mine, and how did you plan on hooking yours up to the door, Im still trying ot figure this out with my door sill LEDS?

Double sided tape actually works for the bottom of the car? I figured with all the road grime, dirt, water, etc that it comes in contact with constantly it wouldn't hold up for long. On the inside yeah but outside?
