    So I got to installing this today and turned it on for the first time and nothing. My lights aren't lighting up. I took the in-line fuse out and measured across where the fuse prongs are supposed to go with a multi-meter and got about 4 volts. Is this a sign of a bad ground?

    Just finished installing mine over the weekend. Easy install, they "stick" very well, and wiring was a breeze. I found it's a little easier to position them if you just peel a few inches of the backing off as you go.

    Had a good run while they lasted :(

    Had to take them off the truck a couple weeks ago. They stopped working, the adhesive no longer worked, and parts of the lights themselves basically disintegrated.

    @mattgecko is awesome though. Great customer service and ultra fast shipping. Would do business with him again without hesitation.

    How long did you have them? What could have caused the adhesive fall apart and parts of the lights to disintegrate?

    over-exposure to extreme heat/cold? Did you use a pressure washer directly on them?

    They were one of the first sets I made back in 2013, before I started using the upgraded double back tape and the better quality light strips.
