yes they have 3M adhesive on the back. they do not have the 1156 plug tho. for this to work the best, i gutted the light bulb socket...making it hollow. once gutted, the socket has a 1/4" hole in the back/base of the socket(where the power wire came through originally) i then ran the double wire from the LED threw that hole and soldered or butt crimped to the 3way switch or the wires(if they were long enough from the switch)
i have seen the 1156 plug w/harness...but they get pricey per light if ya wanted to make it easy...but really...this was super easy. the 1st two dual light fixtures were soldered to the 3way switch and the last dual light had plenty of wire, so i was able to simply use butt connectors. all in all...those 3 conversions only took 1 hr...and i was taking my slow time doing them.
on a side note...thes 20 LED lights sell for $26.01- thats .78cents each!!!! a drop in LED conversion bulb will be $5-15 for a pre-made. i thought this would be the easiest way to get a brite, long lasting,trouble free LED for the camper. heck its been a while since ive bought 1156 bulbs...but this may even be cheaper than the original bulbs that get hot and use the chit outa some power
