ryanallie1, right on! I couldn't have said it better.
As far as the double sided tape, I roughened the plastic surface of the light fixture with some fine sandpaper and haven't had any come loose since. I have had some LEDs fail but even with 3 LEDs out you hardly notice the difference in brightness.
Hi tenbear.
I think I probably have a different type of light fixtures than you do. All of our lights are double Light Bulbs, except the one under the Stove Hood, and in the Cargo Compartments
You can just turn on one or both. Anyways, I don't have any plastic in the base plates where our LED Light Boards can be affixed to in our light fixtures.
On our light fixtures, we have a "Metal Plate" to stick the LED Lights Boards to. I guess, one could sand the metal plates also and get the same effect that you got. Thought for next time maybe.
A Tiny Dab, of Silicon works very well also, and would be very easy to remove if the LED Light Board ever did go out. But I will keep your idea in the back of my mind, should I ever need to repalce one. Thanks for the tip. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill
