sorry for the shaky pics... The led strips were bought at advance auto parts. They are called MAX LED. 2 12" strips. they use the 5053 SMD led and these pics do no justice but for the strips size, im getting so much light that the street even lights up. i literally can see everything I need to under my hood without a flash light. I am definately putting this type of strip under the bed rails, but will get the 5053 smd led spool from ebay for the same cost of 2 strips retail The switch snapped into a factory hole on the core support cover too. i did the install when it was like 30 out so the wire was stupid hard to deal with so I will hide the wire when its warm. oh, these lights worked perfect when i steamed my bay. my friend told me now i need to start my boost project so theres a nice centerpiece in there. I need a garage so i can do more auto detailing and save for a Trick system

You do nice work and they look PERFECT. Thanks for the info and pics, I better go shopping (despite Sweetie warning me not to buy myself anything until after this time next week)!

haha thanks guys. appreciate it. The credit to the idea was from another person I think on GMfullsize. Though he put his both in the center, i figured one under each raised section of the hood to distribute the light evenly.
I agree. I think this means I gotta change my sig pic. ill take some nice pics tonight and change up the sig. I tried to get the part number for you guys off the site but the search function is terrible so i think i still have the packaging. I will try and get the number for you guys.
More than likely ordering the spool tonight.
I Absolutely Agree !....GM should have thought of that, cost effective and fantastic results !
More than likely ordering the spool tonight.

I ordered the 5M spool tonight, So with the huge shipping season, I'm sure I won't get it for a few weeks(2-3) but once I get it in, I will install the under bed rails and snap some images as well. I will have roughly 3 feet of the strip left after doing the bed so that may be cut into smaller pieces and used for other things.
