Took me about 4 1/2 - 5 hours, lots of stuff I ended up not using so I can get about 20 bucks back, but check out the videos.

Here's the multicolor LED strip that was 25 bucks from Ebay

He's currently in US so it's faster shipping, took 2 days to get here.

Here's the wire I used from radioshack, intercom wire, has 4 little wires all connected together, perfect for the job!

Cut off the tips of the wire, make sure to only cut a little after the copper pieces for easy soldering.

I had to redo this part on the seat, just poke teeny holes in it, fabric like the bottom of your couch and use clear zip ties, make sure the led line is closer to the front that I actually did in the picture.

I used a 4 position terminal block for the front so I can just unscrew it if a strip goes back.

Two strips soldered together, sorry not going to walk you through on how to solder..

12v to 120v adapter, Black is power, white is Ground. Keep that in mind when you chop it off.

Here's how to give it power, get a piggy back fuse holder from autozone or your auto parts store and use a 5 amp fuse on the piggy back, that's how you get the power. The fuse you're piggy-backing off of will be the "Display" option on the panel.

At the end of it I think I had about 1/3 of the 5m reel left, I'll use it some other time, maybe give the subs a bit of a glow.

Looks good. 5 hrs is too much for me, I'll just pay the 50% upcharge and buy lights already put together and ready to go. I had these lights in my old Explorer but I never used them and have been debating putting them in my Camaro.
