    I don't think there'd be enough space either and I don't like those controllers either because they 1) don't do much fun stuff 2) get pretty damn hot.

    I'd try and mount under the hood somewhere.

    I have the control module that came with the strip but it didn't come with the 12v power cord. do I have to order that or is it a generic cord? Thanks

    I linked some things and we discussed this a couple pages back. Either buy it online, go to a local electronics store, or cut the plug and lead off the house plug adapter.

    Hmm... I'm needing a somewhat "waterproof" control module. That's my thoughts for wanting to jam it inside the light bar some how lol. On a RZR or Maverick, there aren't many "safe" places to mount it....at least how they ride em around here.

    Yeah. I'm thinking get some sort of dry storage case that allows wires through or mod a regular dry storage case and then silicone it a lot after your sure it works

    You can just run them out of one of the fins and maybe shave down a part of the end cap. OR you can drill a small hole at one end and then seal it good with silicone AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    Reciever box should be somewhere under the hood if you have an RF one.
