Costco ambient lighting kit.
#11
I saw this at Costco at lunch. It contains four 2' strips of multicolored LED's. A strip for each foot well. It also has a wireless remote for changing colors. It was $29.99 so I thought I'd give it a try. Anyone foresee any problems wiring this up? Anyone know what wire or fuse to tie into? I admit it was an impulse buy and I had hopes a fellow forum member could give me some advice. Thanks.

I have Plasma glow LED Low voltage, and I tied into my power on my bucket seat, being its central I ran all my leads off that and then to the switch on the dash...
any leads I had to extend as mine I can cut and add the blocks any where I like with 3led's to a block and 10 blocks in the kit.
I extended my leads with speaker wire.....I put my blocks under the dash - buckets - in console - under rear seat
the rear seat one I put on a piece of aluminum channel and a lag bolt in the center and bolted to the Box where the Jack is, and made a connection case I wanted to take it out......
I hung all the blocks with ties first then moved them so the shadows matched then I fixed them with the 3m zip ties
I got mine from - CARiD.com....they have all kinds of great products for our F150 or any vechile you have.....they have all kinds of kits for around the same price...20-30.00
It looks better in person then in the pics......everyone just goes wow when they get in at nite.....lol.....its one of my fav Mods.. out of many Ive done..
here is a few pics of mine

I accidentally cut one the strips in my excitement to remove the product from that pesky packaging. So I will have to see if Costco will let me exchange it.

I found them in the isle that sells the light bulbs. I also found them on http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-Mosai...nia+led+strips

I been doing some research in ebay for the materials to "build" our own kits.... We should be able to do it MUCH more cheaply and better fit than what those kits are offering... We could literally build ANY configuration that we wanted... and Im guessing around 50% of the kit costs I've seen...
Im guessing that the most common colors would be white/clear and blue.?? and how much demand would there be for the RGB multicolor strips, abd all the fancy features like flashing, color-changing, etc..??
I'm bidding right now on some materials, including the blue strip lites, connectors, and even dimmers...
I'm even thinking that it could be connected to the truck dash lites and interior lites.. for max brite when loading, and much dimmer when driving..??
Any ideas..??

I bought these for $15 today.

I plan on wiring them up to the parking lights so they come on when I unlock the doors and when the lights are on.
