rear tail gate lights

[stumog]

So i brought a reel of this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360760147389?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
there is 5m for £7 ish

I then ran a piece of twin core up the rear pillar into the head lining through the rubber pipe and into the tail gate.

if somebody tries this run the cable from the roof towards the bottom of the tail gate as its alot easier to get the cable in this way. I gave up after about 30min trying from the other direction.

I then silka flex the light strip to the plactic cover as the tape would not hold it. madwe a small hole for the switch and happy days its done.

This is so cheap to do it worked out i only used 1 m of the led strip so was just over a pound and very bright when i tested last night.
