No Search for the Following on Ebay (2x 60cm Flexible Car Soft Tube LED Strip Light DRL Daytime Running Lamp White US) The come made I'm just saying if you want to go your route buying a Regular LED Strip will work better.

Re: My small Led And double din, and dashpad Project with pics and how to

So here's my Hatch Done. Same procedures, I could've got away with just the 2 on top on the Third Brake Light. But I did those last lol. So is 6 Total 2 by the brake lighst, 2 on the side and the 2 on top. All turn on by the blue Toggle switch on the left. I couldn't wire them to the hatch since my motor got messed up years ago, now I open the hatch with the key. Also since I disconnected that whole area beause somehting there was draining my battery. So here are the Pics. BTW the last pics shows how bright those running lights are. Everything looks brighter in person Phone didn't do justice.

Unfortunately I had to sell my car This are the last pictures I took. Hopefully will buy a Trans-Am in the future. I Re-did the Light strip inside the bezel..

Sorry you had to sell your car.

Still looks washed out. Did you get upward emitting LEDs, or side emitting?

Oh ok, I would use side emitting, that would make the difference in the look since it wouldn't actually light up that space
