What is the best way to mount LED lights to the carbon fiber frame? I was thinking superglue, so it would be lighter than double sided tape? What do you guys use? Thanks!

Nah, definitely double-sided tape. The different in weight will be fractions of a gram, and it'll be much easier to replace.
The ground is for dead people.

I haven't used it for LED lights...well I don't use LED lights, but
I have started using the "tack putty" stuff to tack down things
such as wires and receivers inside the frame where other things
are harder to use. This stuff is NOT permanent and can be pealed
off, but holds quite well. Just a thought  Thinking

Find some super slim thickness double sided tape. Not much weight savings with anything else.

I just use Welders Glue for many build uses and it works great. Sticks on good and you can rub it completely off if you decide to remove it.

I’m a big fan of small zip ties. : D
Not the lightest things in the world though.

Whichever way you go, if there are any exposed conductive bits on the underside of your leds, make sure to isolate them from the frame.
Dangerous operations.

Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.
