Double sided Tape
Can anyone make a suggestion where I can get some real good double sided tape. I put blackouts on the tail lights and I am going to remove them to install a new third brake light but I want to put them back on.

I tried about 6 stores but could not find the heavy duty clear double sided tape needed. I contacted RPI for some but somehow the tape they sent me must have gotton lost in the mail. I had to settle for Scotch double sided tape. Its like regular scotch tape except its double sided. It works well and can be purchases in almost any stationary store and Walmart. Make sure you get the one that says permanent, it works better.
Ps If you find the heavy duty clear let me know where you got it.

No need to remove the blackouts to remove the taillights. No problem at all. I have had mine off 3 or 4 times and no problem.
I did have one smpke lens come loose soon after instalation. I used outdoor velcro cut into thin curved strips on two sides of the lense. Can not see the velco at all.
