Nice addition to my work van, thanks to C.O. member Fear Reborn.

Fear Reborn (Dave) sold me some leds on a roll up strip that you can mount about anywhere in your car. I needed more light in my sweet chevy work van. While waiting for a customer tonight, I had time to rig this up. I had a regular dome light at the back & just spliced into that harness with a switch. The roll is about 17 feet long I think? I just stuffed what I didn't need under some roof insulation for now. You can cut the strip where ever you want & add lights about anywhere. You can even just cut one led off the strip, wire it up & it will work.
It is shockingly bright now. The picture doesn't do it justice.

He has tons of strips & bulbs & can set you up also!

Looks handy!
Because we all know the stuff you really need is usually way at the back, out of sight...
