Default Opt 7 Ambient Lighting kit?

Anyone installed this in a 15 or 16? Pics of locations in front and rear!

Not sure where to mount in rear. Thinking of cutting a small hole in back of console, and adding a clear piece of plastic to mount led strip to.

Dont really like the underseat mount location.

Looks like a decent kit for the price. We're not a fan of OPT7 LED bulbs but kits like this are a dime a dozen. I use something similar in my gun case (and we have the ability to sell stuff like this from Diode Dynamics but we've yet to really advertise it, it's a lot of "custom stuff")

Where are you trying to install these?

I had the worst experience with this kit/company. For the first month everything worked except for the door trigger in the box. They finally sent a replacement and the replacement didn't work at all, then waited and got another one the same as the first where the door trigger didn't work again. All the while LED's in the strips slowly stopped working. This whole time dealing with OPT7 they were incredibly rude accusing me of not knowing what I was doing (which was not the case). Best part of all of it is that they dont have a phone number (try to find one) their support is email only.... Horrible experience.

Front foot wells, and on rear console(for foot well light).

That sucks. On the previous gen f150s, many op had this kit & loved it.

I had planned to tap the tail light wire in the sills, so it only comes on with headlights.
