Its called body moulding tape, and most car accessory shops sell it in a roll.
Lost without my Bongo.

Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
Be sure to thoroughly de-grease the area with some thinners / white spirit and dry with a clean cloth / tissue before fitting as this will ensure a good bond between the lights and the bodywork then when its all done get some before n after pics up so we can all revel in your self induced LED heaven
Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
cheers guys, still undecided where to fit them but will get pics up once done

If you need any ideas, just check out daveblueozzie's ride, led's everywhere its great. I was going to take the kids to Blackpool but i might just ask Dave to drive past my house with his side door open.

Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
make sure you use 3m moulding tape and make sure its degreased first.
Cheap moulding tapes eveything drops off,
I've been playing with these strip leds this week and have some that you can just cut to length, very cool,

Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
have seen a few vehicle with these now, where do u get em then and I take it they are wired into the side lights.
Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
Got mine form Ebay for around £1.99 but I have also seen them sold on Amazon as well.
Still not fitted mine but I will be simply connecting them to the sidelights

Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
Wire them into the sidelight circuit, I supergued mine on as the 3M tape gave up pretty quick . . .

Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
well I wondered about superglue but thought if they should fail they would be a bugga to remove, will try the tape first I think.
Re: Stick On LED Strip Lights
Bought my 'daylight lights' from Halfords, peeled back the adhesive protection paper , cleaned the fitting area bodywork with alcohol, pressed them on, wired up to sidelights... job done 40mins.. they been on the vehicle now some 4 months no sign of peeling off... (your lights should have self adhesive backing you should not need any further adhesive tape)tonnee wrote:Hi
