XT AUTO 8pcs 12V Super Bright 30cm 15 LED Flexible Waterproof LED Strip Light for Car Interior & Exterior Decoration DRL Day Running Light Or Boat Bus Garden

I mean, you get what you pay for obviously.They are OK for the money. A bit flimsy, but have a good brightness. I have ordered these a few times. Order a large roll of 3M double sided tape with them. They tend to not like to stick well. I give them 5 stars. The first time, I would have been frustrated..but working with them several times now, I know what I need to do to make them great.

My wife's new car had a dark spot where the switches light up when they are turned on. But, at night when those switches are off... you can't see them. I placed one of these under an overhang above the location and presto- we can see the switches now! Mind you I had to trim the LED strip down to where there are only three LED's on the strip. NOTE: you can cut the strips behind every 3rd LED and therefore make the strip the length you need, ie.3,6,9,12 LED's. Minimum of 3 LED's required though. The sticky tape on the back of the strips did not work so I put a couple small drops of super glue on the strips and solved it. Ran the wiring to the fuse panel where I tapped into a fuse that is only HOT when the ignition is on, and added an inline fuse for the LED wire. NOTE: LED's will not work if the positive and negative wires are connected backwards. I recommend these, they work great!

They are very thin and a little flimsy, but for the price they are OK. Don't expect them to light up the night, but they will give a soothing, nice glow. I wired 2 in parallel for a brighter effect (see picture). Note: the adhesive isn't very strong you might have to improvise a better way to keep it in place. I used double sided, sticky back velcro strips, i'm sure red 3m tape would work just as well. Overall Ok for lite, small applications where a little accent lighting will do.

The double side tape is not great n very fragile, break easy

If you’re looking for an LED strip with a soft glow, unreliable adhesive, and ultra-thin 26ga wiring that occasionally comes free from its soldered points, then look no further!These are NOT “super bright” by any means. I tested each strip before installing them, and found they were quite dim. I was a little disappointed, but willing to live with it.Then came installation. I prepped my surfaces (raw aluminum & powder coated) with denatured alcohol & microfiber rag. Ambient temps were 80°F. I then carefully pressed in place, each strip. By the third strip, I noticed that the first strip was lifting. They stuck slightly better to the raw aluminum, but not much better. I attempted to salvage them by using 3M double-sided tape - the 3M tape stayed strong to the surfaces, but the fetching lights would still pull from the adhesive!Then the wiring. Oh that awful, peach-fuzz-thin, stranded wire that requires tweezers and a steady hand for soldering. Also, a couple of leads came undone from the solder points on the strips, as I was routing the leads.I knew $9.xx was a pretty low price, and sometimes you get lucky. This time, I was not so lucky. I would stay away from these.

7 of the 8 lights worked good. Are they the brightest LEDs? No, but they are good for the price. The wires are super small, but they have been good enough. The ice blue looked more white to me, but everyone's eyes are a bit different. Have not installed them yet.

Great product. Bright and dependable

I bought these to replace a bad led light strip on the mudflap of my pickup truck. As luck would have it, it was a direct replacement. These days I want to bring as much attention to my brake lights as I can with everybody’s head buried in their phones.I replaced both left and right strips for uniformity. I cleaned the surface with alcohol before applying the strips and one adhered nicely. It was a cold damp day and by the time I finished wiring the second one the adhesive did not stick as well and I ended up using spray contact cement to make it stick the following day when the rain had stopped. This is a great product for a very reasonable price. It would be silly not to buy it if this is what you are looking for.
