Default Led lights under steps!!

Bought the same led strip j.wal used on his frame rails, but since my truck isn't lifted, just leveled, I put them under the steps. What y'all think?

Yea I'm really happy with how these turned out! Took a while to find the right wire for the dome lights but other than that it was pretty straight forward

What was the wire you used? Where did you find it?

I used the dome light wire and it is a light blue and black wire and it was under the passenger side door panel(I think that's what it's called). There is a wire loom with about 200 wires in it so I just tested to find the hot one with the doors open. If you want me to I can post a picture of which wire I used

i cut my led strip into 4 sections. Soldering the connectors was the toughest part.
