    Damn, than ya thats gonna be hard to stick too. Anything will prob be tuff. Maybe just put them around the windows of the cap and stick it too the glass. That or glue some hooks to the ceiling of the cap and hang it from them. Then you will always have hooks to hang things from in your cap? :cool:

    Gorilla tape will probably work, those little stick on things will fall off, ditto on the goo gone.

    Its a inverter not converter. :rolleyes: It plugs into the cig lighter outlet. Dont worry about AC/DC, just plug a extention into the socket and your lights :D

    Cheap one:
