    Pic and video wont upload from my phone or tablet, transferring to my computer, will post soon. Bear in mind this is just a mock up and not the finished product. Prob won't ever be finished because I will tinker around with it till I'm satisfied... and I'm never completely satisfied, always tinkering.

    Those cuttable LED strips are fun to tinker with. I have made under hood, bed and camper shell lights so far.

    Looks good but I don't think it would last in the slush and snow we get around here.

    I know, just going to have solid green while running for now, looking to hang some ice sickle lights in the side windows of the canopy. Ordered some red and white LED strips , gonna mock those up staggered to create the candy cane effect. Nothing like a work in progress. Gonna talk to the local law enforcement and get their opinion on them as well.

    Cheers.
