Hey guys, here's a little project I did to get more light + some 12v outlets into the back of my shorty GQ. I'm very happy with the amount of light and how neat it turned out. I also left myself options to add more LED strips if I really want the Christmas tree effect.
All up it took about 2 hours and I used about $30 worth of stuff I already had lying around. I also ran a single 110 amp 4 gauge power cable with a 60 amp fuse (for now all I need) down the back to run all this stuff plus some reverse lights I am putting in. You can see the thick 4 gauge cable coming into the terminal block behind the jack cover in the photo's. By keeping everything clean, separately fused and accessible I'm hoping it'll be some hassle free electrics.
If anyone wants more details on cable sizes / lengths etc let me know cause I'm repeating the whole setup for a mates shorty next weekend and can measure it all then.
First pics are the before / after with the light installed. The LED strip is part of one of those 3528 SMD 5 meter rolls available on ebay. Warm white.
