    Hey guys! Due to an increase in interest for my lights I am doing a group buy for all my LED Strips.

    I am on a shortage of 10" Cool White LED Rigid Bars (although I have plenty of Warm White) so I will require at least 10 orders for the Pairs of Cool White LED Rigid Bars for me to order them in from my supplier because I have to order them in bulk.

    The group buy will be for 10% Off! I know this doesn't sound like a lot, but these lights aren't very expensive already.


    Here are some examples of what you can do with my LED Strips:

    My strips are the lights between the front and rear wheels.

    DSC_0131_8a8dfb06358d29b5e4f2956f49909d882ad4f9ad.jpg

    As you can see they can connect end on end. Just silicone the edges to waterproof:
    DSC_0132_09ed453d6426f9e97cace8261a8ab7008f625d23.jpg

    I don't currently have any side by side shots, but I can pick up some warm white soon. As for now, here are some shots of the warm white we did around a house, Hopefully these will work for now:

    Hmm... I just had a though, how about you move your hood ones where you need it in the rear so they all match and just get the hood light package from me?

    I was thinking that too, but the bed lights are easy to tap into since they're already there, and I wouldn't have to touch the hood ones :D

    Also looking pricewise, if I just tap into the rear wiring, all I would need would be a pair of LED bars, hook them up directly together, then just a 12v/Ground connector which work out to be $39 before discount and shipping

    How long are you going to have this open. I would love to do the back up light bar like we talked about but need to wait till I do all my Christmas shopping to make sure I have enough money... Instead of just buying myself things lol.. :)

    I'm looking into getting some of these, eventually for under the hood. When I do, I'm planning on using the hood switch from my remote start as a trigger (relay isolated).... you can catch the top of it at the bottom of this photo:
