RGBW LED light strips for ambient lighting.

Added some LED light strips with RGBW function and USB power to my van, discovered the fabrics the interior is made from are... well lousy places to use sticky tape backed light strips and solved the issue...

I first tried some 3D printed clips, they were beyond awful, then I switched to some clear molded clips from Amazon and those really did the trick.

The only issue I would have is where it crosses over from drivers to passenger side at the opening of the penthouse top, the noggin can meet the clips so I moved them up and out of the way... It looks great, and provides good enough ambient / mood lighting to move about the van drawing very little power

If anyone knows of a good color selectable dimmable LED bar light to replace the OEM Sportsmobile lights I am looking to do that as well.

And those lamps, the pointy edges are just too much!

This set.

10 bucks, and holds the strip tight like a momma holding her baby...

There is a different style that is lower profile, less pokey stuff sticking out I should have gone for but didn't see...

Those go for $12.00 and I might end up redoing mine with those... I REALLY like the lower profile...
