OK we are done and it looks awesome and I can’t get enough! It looks so good

[naikeytodorov]

Thanks man! Surely a very helpful video. I will try putting them sideways. It seems that there will be less resistance on the lights when the car is moving because of the airflow.

[miloprocool]

You kinda look like Negan from The Walking Dead

[EJ]

Is it going to put scratches all over the truck/damage the paint with the bulbs rubbing against the vehicle moving in the wind?😢😢😢😢😢

[qarrett]

Fantastic video Mark. Taking all of this advice for this year haha!

[By_Any_Means_Necessary]

Okay this 2024 Christmas season I'm going to try and tackle this project on my car thanks for all the info and I see this video is 2 years old have you learned any more tips or tricks or better tape or lights or inverter to get since making this video

[Sweetheartedd_]

Sorry you don’t have more likes, this video is amazing!!! Thank you

[kidsavvy]

This is the video I’ve been looking for, apparently it greatly.

[vlsee]

this vod was very helpful thanks dude!! 💯

[johnevans]

Good morning! We are doing this to our fleet cars and we are using this as our guidance. We ordered all of the stuff that you mentioned. Handling it today. Should be very fun.

[AgenDarkKnight]

He looks like Negan and kinda sounds like Ray Romano. Great video! Can't wait to do a similar project!

[Snowy_XYZ]

I finally got a good video im doin this next year when i get my tesla

[Stallzyx]

Great to have a breakdown of how this works. Thought about doing it here in the UK but the actual power location is the bit I'm concerned about most. Also you kinda sound like Nicholas Cage or maybe it's just me

[stevenmahad]

super helpful very detailed. great video. but its a Tesla. but overall super great video rlly detail and worthwhile watching every minute.

[aquajeepgirl]

How was it when you took it off? Was the paint ok? I'm nervous to use that tape on my paint finish! Thanks!!

[mrs.d]

Hello there, would you have a current link for the multi color lights? Getting ready to deck out my F250 for the holiday season and am glad I have several boys to help me out if it took 9 hours for your car!! Your video was great with lots of helpful information.

Very informative vid! I def wanna do this this year. I was just wondering if a 150w inverter is enough for over 1000 LEDS in general? I was going to buy 1000 leds but not the kind you got and i drive a 19' subaru crosstrek and I didn't wanna fry the battery

[CamaroandaCamera]

looks good, just which tape to use for me, got my car ceramic coated/ppfed. I got 4 boxes (100 ft each/300 bulbs on each LED ofc) but mine connect and I only have two doors. not gonna plan the layout but I’m hoping I spent enough cause I didn’t think it would be this expensive lol

[skorpyo]

Thank god I hv a smaller car, 3rd gen prius. Looking to do 2500 led lights. Awesome tutorial. And, so I dont need to do mullti lights at all? Thinking what you used for top but for all of car, or just one specific color that has patterns. Also need update on tape residue too. Lol

[SacredHeart]

And or cut and splice lights to needed size so you can open doors
