Default Double sided 3m tape for saddlebag turn signals

I looking at a set of slightly used, OEM Harley Signature LED lights for the rear of the saddlebags on my RGS. Anyone know what type of tape the use on them when new? Thickness and strength is what I'm looking for. Would like to use the same stuff so I could get them off if desired for paint etc.

Thanks

Look for 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape.
It’s used widely, with remarkable results, in many different industries.

Yes. Solvent such as WD-40 will dissolve the adhesive and leave the paint unharmed, but it is intended as a semi-permanent solution.
