Default LED Strip Installed

Installed LED strip lights over the weekend. Got them on
Amazon Amazon
.
The wires that came with the light was TOTALLY USELESS!!! I redid the wiring and connected the red/positive to ACC3.
Soldered the wires. I also added a on-off switch so it can be turned off if needed.
The original adhesive was a POS I had to get a better double-sided tape.
The end result looks good. Love the sequential turn signal. The quality of the LEDs is questionable, not sure how long them will last.

Please tell me the bare pin going into the fuse was just for testing purposes and you aren't driving around like that after the install is complete..... You are asking for a fire to happen in your car if you keep it like that. Wire it properly by tapping into the wire then using heat shrink tubing..etc.

Thank you for the concern. It's soldered on the fuse and properly insulated. I will replace it with a fuse tap once it arrives.

I like the idea, I actually want to add a led strip to the rear of mine, but given you had to replace the wires as well as the tape, I doubt the led will last too long either.
