Default undertruck lights?

I know people always use underglow or neons for the fancy lights under their vehicles but im a cheap skake lol, i like to get the same things done for less. Would someone tell me whether or not this stuff would do the same thing? I drive a 2003 F150 4 door and i measured it out as 7 ft on the sides and 5 on front and back. If anyone has taken this route, lemme know, or just tell me if its a good/bad idea. the link to the product is below, thanks for any advice!

Those will probably work. I have seen some guys use those for the same thing your doing except they are wired to the interior lights so they come on when you open the doors.

Should work.
Others have also used similar for Bed lighting.

Well, if you're looking for opinions on this, then the 1990's called, and they want their cheesy attention-***** lights back.

If you're not looking for opinions, then good luck with the install.

I'm putting a similar product on. Though just waiting for some nicer weather. It will work. Though I believe the power supply isn't as basic. I put on a 1 color strip before and it was just 1 12v power source. I bought a kit with these and it came with a power supply that does 12v power in and ground then goes out to the 4 wire RGB. Here's a pic of my single color greens that i removed for the RGB

I am thinking that i will just go with a single color, rather than RGB because it seems like the 4 wires that would go between strands would get aggrivating, especially with the soddering and whatnot.. All i need is red anyways.

Ya 1 color is simple I went from my 12v outlet to a fuse to a switch out to the light. That plastic trim piece when you open the door and step on I accidentally broke 1 of the 3 clips so I run the wire up through the hole now, which doesn't pinch the wire. (First picture is new RGB with music box/power source)

Sell your truck and buy a Honda... then you should have enough money for decent lights and an appropriate vehicle to put them on.
