Default Backlit Led Bars

I decided to take apart some of my light bars and duallys and backlight them. They are all controlled with my iPhone.

That is awesome. care to share how you did it? Thats something i would like to do to mine vs buying the rigids that come with it. I've already got the rigid light bars but there not the radiance series bars.

Thanks, I took apart the lights and added RGB 5050 led strips behind the reflectors, drilled a small hole in the fixtures for the wire to come through and sealed the hole up. I tried a lot of different lights and the Rigids seem to allow the most light to shine through the reflectors. I tried to add video to show how they really look but couldn't get it to upload. Actually pretty easy

By far one of the coolest things I've seen on here. Any heat concerns from the rigids for the RGB strips?

So far they've been holding up real well with the heat.

I'm just afraid I'd break something internally or screw up the seal. I do have some cheap auxbeam cubes that I plan on removing that I may try and do this too. Got some left over strips I planned on doing some bed lights with.
