I had purchased a roll ..16ft if I remember for like $18 on Amazon for some lighting in my truck. I just used the leftover which I had about 10ft left. U can either solder the wires on the end after you decide how long you want iy or just purchase some slide on clips which make it so much easier. I wired them to the stock lighting fixture and thats about it. The strip comes with a self addhisive so its just a matter of prepping the surface and peel off the tape and sticking it where you want. Entire procedure took around 20 minutes.
