    Nice mod.
    I did something similar under my hood, just made a bulb base adapter & plugged it into the under hood light socket & attached the strip along the top of the hood.
    MUCH more light than that dinky bulb ever thought of putting out.
     
  13. looks good maybe could mount an amber one too then raise the lid when having truck problems or a flat per say
     
  14. Then wire it into your hazards. I like that idea. Do it up bro!
     
  15. I may have to do that
     
  16. lol Me too

    Now there's an idea... more led's :thumbup:

    Put one strip on each end & one in the center of the box right below the lip.
