30 SMD 5050 LED Strip Light for Car Trunk Cargo Area or Interior Illumination Decoration, Xenon White, Auto Accessories

I purchased this unit to add a brighter light to the trunk of my sport car. I spliced the wire to tie it into the socket of the standard switch. The installation took less than 30 mins and could have been done quicker if I was more experienced in the splicing method. The light fully illuminates the car, has no flickering and seems well built. My sport car's light switch doesn't deactivate when the trunk closes so I have to remember to manually turn the switch off and on.

Installed in a 2018 Kia Forte. When the package came, I guess I thought it would be larger. It is a small box. The first few pictures compares the size to a few quarters. While the whole package is small, it provides decent light for the trunk. There are no instructions but, it is not too complicated to figure out if you can replace a lightbulb. Here are a few technical details about the product: The strip is about 19.5" inches long. About half way down the strip is a soldered-on pigtail at the 10" mark. The pigtail is about 2.5" inches long. There are 30 LED's on the strip (specified in the product description as well). They are of the 5050 SMD design. LED strip has foam-based sticky tape for better cohesion (as opposed to normal LED strips). The kit comes with two connectors and an extension wire. Festoon type spring load plug and pin type plug. Connectors are 2.5" inches long. Extension wire is 12" long. The festoon bulb is what I had and used the festoon connector. The LED strip is polarity-sensitive, so test which direction the festoon connector should go in. In my case, the existing light was in the center of the trunk, so did not need the extension wire. Everything tucked up into the light socket area when I replaced it. One note of caution, when sticking the tape to the underside of the trunk, don't get it too close to the hole where the existing light facility slides back in, or it could be impacted. I tested the strip prior to install to make sure everything worked (someone noted earlier they had a few of the LEDs not working, in my case everything worked fine). The tape on the LED strip is foam based 3M (at least as labelled) tape. When installed, had good adhesion (unlike traditional LED strips with the paper-think sticky tape). I don't expect this to fail anytime soon. The results were fantastic. As can be seen in the pictures, before and after shots are dramatic (well, maybe that's overkill, but it was pretty cool). This was a great value, and easy project to do. I would recommend to anyone that has a dim trunk light.

I REALLY like these (I've bought this item at least 4 times) and they are very bright and can completely change the atmosphere of your car or trunk. Very high brightness for a trunk, a bit too much brightness for a car ceiling. They are a little bit ugly as it's just an exposed LED strip with some wires attached, but this is more a utility product than an ambiance product. It sticks VERY well to a smooth metal surface (such as the top of a trunk), moderately to a plastic surface (such as a tonneau cover for a trunk), and rather poorly to a fabric surface (such as a headliner of a car) That being said, if it's attached to a moving surface (like a tonneau cover in a hatchback) the wires rip, break, and pull out of the connector VERY easily.

This LED strip is an EXCELLENT alternative to the light for your car trunk. There are no instructions, but if you even have novice mechanical skills, you should be able to switch these out. It took less than 10 minutes to install and have light! If you don't have an idea about changing the light out in your trunk, here are some basic steps to assist you: 1. Locate where the light source is located in your trunk. 2. There may be a clear cover with a tab that will need to be pressed as you pull the cover off. ***Be careful of wires that may be still attached to the cover or light plug as you pull it off. 3. Look to see you have the SMD 5050 (plug-in bulb with 2 wire prongs) or the 6418 type (glass tube with cone-shaped metal ends) 4. Depending on the type you have, mount your light strip so the center wire connection is within 5 inches of the light plug. 5. Connect the appropriate plug type into the LED strip connector, making sure the Red lead and the Black lead are mated the same. (If necessary, use the included lead extension, matching the red and black wires also.) 6. When you plug in the connector adapter to the original trunk light plug, the light strip should illuminate. 7. Enjoy having sunshine in your trunk!!! I would definitely recommend this upgrade for your trunk!!

Needed a better light than my factory trunk light for deliveries at night. Was teferred to this product by another Amazon Flex driver and it's been a good purchase. Easy to install in my 2015 Ford Fusion. Just popped the plastic lens off and popped the bulb out. In its place you put the white plastic capped wire piece where the bulb was and then attach to the light strip. Popped the lens back into the trunk lid and attached the strip for even lighting in the trunk. So far so good...its super bright and makes deliveries so much easier to see. Good buy for the price. We'll see how long it lasts. UPDATE: May 15, light atoped working about 2 weeks ago. finally had a chance to look at it. one of the wires came undone from the strip and I dont or not gonna waste my time trying to have it re-sodered back on. The wiring is think and jenky, so you get what you pay for. it was great while it lasted 2 months.

Was hoping it was a bit longer,as I wanted a full strip for my trunk for a 2001 Honda Accord. The brightness of the lights were brighter than I ever expected, and the length didn't matter at that point. The connection was finicky, but I adjusted for the spade connector. The strip was real 3M, so adhesion was not a problem. Hopefully it maintains adhesion for a while. But it was bright. Would buy this product again in a heartbeat if I get another ride. EDIT: the old Accord has been sold and this remained in her as a surprise for the new owner (she didn't know I had all the lights converted to LED). But I have ordered another one for my new whip. Same issue with the Acura ILX as with the Accord. The trunk light is not bright enough....So, I "improvised"....waiting for the new strip to be delivered so I can install it, along with the other LED's for the internals (Vanity mirrors, rear map/courtesy, possibly the footwells)....Can't really say enough about this one....BUUT, remove the fuse while replacing this tr prevent the multiplexor from burning out (controls the ILX interior lighting...I blew a fuse when trying to replace the trunk light with a different LED)...decided on this product instead.... This product has more LED's on the strip, so it is brighter and longer than other strips I have seen, so definitely order this one, folks!

The light is real bright, which is good. I really only have two complaints: 1) The adhesive is real bad. After 2 days it started to fall off. 2) The wires are crazy thin, so hopefully they don’t break due to road vibrations.

Works great for my 2023 Lexus IS -- used with velcro tape and sticks firmly to the felt liner. The led strip has a nice clear rubber/plastic coating, also the wires connect right in the middle of the strip.
