Default LED step lights

Besides f150leds.com where do you guys like getting your kits from. Then on the other hand if you like making your own where do you like buying your led strips. I'm guessing the local Auto parts store on my carries like 2 foot lengths

You can buy perfectly good quality LEDs from eBay. Run a bead of silicone over them to improve weather resistance.

When you use the cargo light wire, it's super easy.

Yea that's what I end up doing all the wires are ran. Ends tapped off just waiting for the lights to come in. The lights I ordered off amazon wasn't really clear with how the wires are on the end. It's a 16 ft strip I'm just under sure if it'll have wires just on one end or on each end and I'll cut in the middle to length.
