So there are different "levels" of LED light strips, and they are very different.
Want to be able to change the colors on the entire strip with an IR remote? This is the most basic level and include Red/Green/Blue LEDs (RGB).
Maybe you want to be able to have a true white as well? RGBW

Top of the line, and what I ordered? Bluetooth, RGB, Individually addressable LED strips.

If you want the ultimate LED utility so you can pick exactly what part of the van lights up what, and occasionally want the party bus experience, these rock.
It comes with 2 16ft strips that mirror each other. I snipped off the AC plug and wired it in with a fuse to my 12v dome lights.
