Does the housing still protect the light/LED electronics from weather/dust, or did you have to leave it open to fit the strip?
Also, could you provide specifics of the best LED strip to use, for those of us less skilled at such projects?

Sweet!

ebay/keywords: "Strip 5630 SMD"

You possibly won't need a full roll In any case, let me know if anyone tries to screw you. I can grab a set for you and ship your way presto. Those are made in my backyard here.

I'm 10min driving away from that famous auto-store "district". A place you wouldn't have enough of one full week to see it all It's something like 20sq/km commercial zone.... only auto parts!

Comes in 3 diff modes.

TEST before put on car. Some of these products can go extremely hot and may (or not) need heat management. Careful, some are better than other..

I'd ask Manuell which ones he's been using to be on the safe side.
