Depends on your fixtures. I have read of people using wire ties to to attach their panels. Also some have used silicone glue. I have had success by sanding the plastic fixture where the sticky tape attaches.

The issue I have with the tape is that it gets soft from the heat.

I had not thought of silicon. The automotive high temp would be perfect.

Thank you!

I just bought 20 of those to retrofit both of my 5ers. I had heard some complaints about heat using this style of led. I found that they run cooler than the 1144's they replace.

They do run hot enough that I do not have faith in the double sided mounting tape they come with and am looking for mounting alternatives.

I suggest you look on eBay. Do a search on "led ba15d". You probably want 24 or more 5050 leds or the equivalent. The 1144 seems to be a pretty bright bulb.

Buy a couple to see if they are what you want before you buy a whole bunch.

Ebay. I got my LED panels from 2011_led.
