I know I'll need one that is approx 24" (60cm)

I used 24x1 wish I could have gone to 24 x 1 1/8 or 1/4

What I don't know is
1) best available brand

I'll send you a pic of the one i bought by email others I'm sure would work

2) can the original light strip be sourced

Looked for a long time and I would say no. Relanping lets you change the color

3) does the replacement wire in any differently or can I hook it into the existing relay/ transformer

they are I think power inverters and I used one on each strip (sill)

I wanted to route 12 volts both sides for footwell lights in the same color

4) if I have to replace the stop/ ribbon, what is applied over the clear plastic to make it opaque

I left mine blue to match the car.

Installed them a few months ago. New OEM right out of the box. Two weeks after install, one just stopped lighting up (crap)

Age kills those old strips. New ones are better

When you re-lamped did you do both or were you able to just do one. Any suggestions would be welcome and much appreciated.

Did both because unlike the oem. The electroluminecent strip is colored and oem is clear/silver
