Looking for some led lights for my truck to glow under amps and maybe under dash. Looking for something that preferably is color changing and maybe changes with music but it all depends on price. I've used varad lights in the past but I know they our really expensive so any ideas thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I've always just gone to autozone. They had 6" or 12" strips of a variety of colors, and some color changing ones. I've used eBay led strips and they don't compare at all. I paid $20 for 2 12" strips of solid colors, and it was $40 for 2 12" color changing strips. Very bright too! I'd check out your local auto parts store. Because many carry them.

what I use are the waterproof LED rolls from eBay, it's like $10 for a roll and can be cut in 3 led sections. as for the color changing ones, you need a controller for each set you wanted controlled or you can tie them into one controller and they all change the same color at the same time.

if nothing changes, nothing changes

I think the autozone ones or what ever work fine but make sure you dont just let the adhesive try to hold them up. also, anyone here know how to make them go with bass. obviously there are people who run them through there amp. which isnt good. and the ones that change by vibration or sound arent very good at it..

hey man just be carefull with ebay rgb led's...allot of them are cheaper in price and will work but Ive been through a "few" different ones and so far the best quality to price led's have been epic lighting led's sold by Sky High Car audio....they aren't up on their website but if you message them via email or fb because they do have them just not up on the website........yet.

if anything they sell the best controllers in my opinion...they look exactly the same as ones you cab buy on ebay except for they do not hav an "rf eye" meaning you do not have to point the remote directly at the controller you can be pretty far away and point it anywhere and control the color and pattern of your led's...not to mention they can power a shit ton of led's.

they carry strips and modules, both are the best I've used...and I have tried many ;)

Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are!

I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!
