    I ordered the lights above for around $13, a 30 watt solder gun and roll of dodder for $13 or so, and $7 for a assorted set of heat shrink tubing, so all together I got less than 35 bucks invested!

    I am going to use the strips to line the bed rail, tucked up high for lights in the bed of the truck. The kit I installed works great but I think it will look better being the strips and I can make sure I am ready to start the next project after that...... Lol

    I have thought about something similar to this to light the bed bc with the cover i cant see crap. The previous owner put tap lights in there which are useless. I may have to steal this idea from you later :hmm:
