LED DRLs

Just installed these on my lancer, and I wanted to know if there is a good adhesive to use. Since zip tie seems like easy to remove...

The socket for my actual low beams wasn't being used, because I went with a relay to the parking lights for my HID Low Beams, since the DRL current from the socket will mess up my HID ballast. So basically my corner lights switch also turns on my Low Beams.

Always planned on hooking up a set of foglights inside the grill, and using the unused low beam sockets as the power source. But I went this route, after seeing someone try something similar.

3M double-stick is pretty good. Why not just go with some epoxy? I suppose you might want to remove them in the future.

I was thinking of using silicone sealant. I'm in texas, and I've had some issues with 3m double sided tape in the past sliding off when stuck to plastic. Since the temps in the summer reach close to 105°F, not to mention my car is black.

Yeah some clear silicone should stand up to Texas weather, or some really small zip ties.
