Did some recessed tailgate lighting for camping and such. I used an aluminum profile that we have at work for recessing our lighting into furniture. There is a slight bow to the plastic trim in the gate so I had to roll the aluminum a bit. But I think it's bad to the bone! Used some killer bright LED strips in there, 6.7 watts and around 600 Lumens with a clear lens so it throws some nasty light.






I also used the same light strips to do the footwells. You can tell which is factory. How's this before and after?

No but I can put one together. I cobbled some extra parts from our warehouse (I work for a furniture lighting manufacturer, think undercabinet lighting). It might not be identical but I can put together a build thread with where to buy, etc.
