Useless Car Projects

MsGoGoMoto · 08-10-2021, 07:31 PM

Shopping at a local big box retail store. While standing in line I noticed several brands of LED strip lighting with remote control! I thought Hmmmm. ….I really don't need this, and it's only $10. So I got it! I got a 15 foot LED strip that changes colors, plugs into the USB. This is what I came up with! Ended up running it in the foot wells of my vehicle and behind the rear seats. Pretty nifty thing at night! I don't know why, I feel a lot better about myself after doing this. Lol. Not really, it's just nice to have a late model car since I haven't had one since 2004.

Can't go wrong for $10.

How much does your range drop by using those lights while driving?

Seriously though, I like the accent light idea.....

You know you're a real enthusiast when you can quote a tire's make and model by the tread pattern.

Not cheap. Just less expensive. They rate well especially in the wet.
