Question about LED Light Strips

[kilcher]

Was thinking about adding the Opt7 LED light strip that goes above the rear bumper. It sticks on and doesn't sound like it comes off very easily. I'm just curious how long they should last. I'm a little paranoid about sticking it to my truck and then it stops working in a year or two.

Redline Triple LED Tailgate™

FEATURES Offered with a stopping power 3 times more powerful than the standard single light bar, because it is a triple LED light bar which makes the display of light brighter and sharper.

I have had mine on my Rebel for 15 months and prior to that for 4 years on my 2014 Outdoorsman. I didn't use the 2 way tape that is attached to it, on my Outdoorsman the part under the tailgate was metal so I attached it with magnets so I could remove it to clean leaves and debris out of it.
On my Rebel it is plastic so I used these.

and attached it with 2 red cable ties that blend right into the bar. I have the 48 inch bar so I didn't have to use spacers like you do with the 60 inch bar.

Magnets are a great idea, I have a Big Horn, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!!!

Do you happen to have a link to the magnets you used? Just want to make sure I get something strong enough.

I just got 2 packs at Princess Auto. They were the 6 pc Ceramic Magnetic Disc. Spaced them evenly and made sure to fit them around the wires when I had it on my 2014 Outdoorsman. The Rebel is plastic that I gave you links what I used that.

Just out of curiosity where did you attach the magnets to. on my Rebel there is no metal where the light bar goes, it's all plastic trim. I wanted to use magnets but I ended up using plastic spacer and screwed into plastic.

If you read my post # 2 I used the magnetics on my 2014 Outdoorsman and see post # 2 closer to the bottom that my 2019 Rebel is plastic and I used the adhesive cable tie wraps with screws. The OP was asking about the bar and how long it would last. I had mine for almost 5 years.
