I bought the $20 strips from Autozone like a dummy and they're too light of a blue,they dont match the bulb in the rest of the truck.
Yep that's exactly what I've got.

The install is the exact same as the other strips besides having to attach the wire right?

Yep you just have to add your own wires, I made a how to video for that and posted it somewhere. I'll just put a link here, I go through the basics of how I do it.

Gotcha,thanks man. I'm stealing your cup holder idea too lol. I'm about to have a lot of LEDS,so I'm thinking maybe put some in the back seat,under the bed rails etc. One of these days I'm going to run toggle switches to the second overhead compartment since all my **** is going off of switches.

On your supercab I'd do the back seat lights off the bottom of the front seat, from looking at my buddy's truck like yours there isn't a good structure under the rear to mount the lights to. In the cupholder and the lighter cubby I used 3, 3 LED, strips under the lip and wired to the factory cupholder light so they kick on with the dash lights. The floor lights are on a hidden switch under the dash, the LEDs draw so little you don't need a fuse.

I was thinking about waiting on the back seat lights until I get my sub,the sub is going in the middle and I could possibly put a strip on each side of it and one on the front. I'm gonna have to see to make sure. The sub will be here late next month/early November. It would have been here this month but the truck decided to kill itself lol.

Well I did a dodge and the setup on it is like the supercab ford, the light under the back of the front seat lights up the floor of the back pretty nice.

I might do that then. I know you've done light set ups for a few people,if you were going to do it on the side for money about what would you charge? I know some lazy people I could probably make a few bucks off of lol

Usually charge $20 or so. First person pretty much covers costs and you make money from there.
