Help Please /LED lights in engine bay

I originally put this thread under the ZL1 forum but I have not received any responses so I am putting it here as well in the hope to get some sound advice . > I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the photos attached. I used 3m tape and installed a nice heavy duty LED light strip under my strut tower brace on my ZL1. The LED light strip sits a half inch over the super charger and looks great when it lit up. The only problem is when I drive my car for a while, the heat causes the strip to heat up and it bows down and separates from the tape in one spot right over the super charger. A friend recommended to use apoxie cement or glue to hold it in place, but I am afraid that would make it permanent. I am now also worried that it may get to hot and start to burn or melt. The longest distance I have driven since I have install the lights has been about an hour and it seemed fine, but it was not the middle of the summer with heat and humidity. Any suggestions or comments from people who have put lights under there strut tower brace of their ZL1 would be greatly appreciated. I know many others have put these lights on and I can’t be the only one who has dealt with issues and concerns . Thank you
