the adhesive on the back of the light won't stick to anything what do you recommend?

I use Velcro strips on the back of mine. This enables me to move the light when I need to. I use them on my boat and they stay in tack without any problems.

First, make sure surface is dust free and clean as possible. For those still hard to stick areas I used 1/4" strips of 3m Tough Tape or any of those high stick tapes and placed across the light strip. At first I tried to avoid covering a light but covering one didn't effect overall lighting of the area. Mine have been installed for 3 months or so and have had no problems.

Clear Scotch tape. About the length of your thumb, tape each corner up. Do it near a blacklight if you have one. :)

It comes with some small clips that have adhesive on the back of them. It's a pretty good setup. Once they stick, they are stuck. So, make sure you do it right the first time. I suggest putting the clips on the lights as you go and sticking them while on lights.

It is true. But you probably need a flat surface. I stuck it to the underside of my wood cabinets, and it fell off unless I supplemented with package tape. Perhaps the heat from the LEDs affects the adhesion.

I would use Duco Cement to glue the plastic clips that come with the lights to the aluminum shelf and after the cement is dry and set snap the lights into the clips.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Hey Theodore I just purchased 2 of these for lights similar to yours. Both of mine went on with no problem. I looked at the pictures of the V-mount from http://amzn.to/1n8wXYh and compared it to my lights and didn't notice anything different. The only thing I can think of is if the release button on the V-mount is stuck pushed in or something.

It is not sticky. It's hard silicon. It will not feel smooth like glass; then again, it is not a factor to its operation. 4 months on and we love them; a few on dimmers. Over 80% of the home is LEDs now.

Yes that is exactly what I did. The sticky part is about a half inch to 3/4 of an inch diameter. What I did was drill a tiny hole just big enough to get the wire thru and stuck the light to the inside of the headlight and tail lights. Works great and looks awesome. These things are pretty bright too.

You can get smaller diameter rubber o-rings at homedepot/lowes. The foam they use on the base of this light is slippery, I put a piece of old inner tube on the bottom of it, glued in place, and with the supplied o-rings it stays in place better. You could probably cut a ring of inner tube to hold it in place as well.

Adhesive backing. I had one fall off and had to restick it with some super glue. No big deal. Nice and bright. Very pleased.

Use screws or really strong glue, here's a link that might help http://m.wikihow.com/Install-Underglow-on-a-Car

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

I don't know that adhesive would hold the light i think it's to heavy for that

they supply a inexpensive tape. be ready to replace with better double tape or glue. I switched to another system of lighting.

Short self tapping screws should be OK. The light does has an adhesive backing.
