I guess the question I have is could you provide links for the parts or at least to the dealer. I am very interested in making some led strips my self. Thanks. Looks great.

Looks very nice. Think you could make up a smaller version for a dash light?

All the videos seem to be inside with lights off.


Can we get a video of it outside in the daylight?
