I dig it! Very cool looking, and low key. I bet these would be pretty close to invisible on a blackout corner lens too.

i actually bought two of these LED strips in red that i have installed in my side vents and wired into the blinkers.

they only turn on with the blinkers, they do not turn on otherwise.

i haven't taken any pics yet but they look kinda cool.

i mounted them underneath my vent screens. i also had to modify the vent screens so the LEDs wouldn't be obscured but the way they are mounted, they're pretty much invisible.

Jason, Just curious; why did you decide to ditch the amber sidemarkers for white? And what bulbs did you go with?

i decided to change them because when i turn on the switchbacks, they turn white, the new strips are white and i felt the corners in amber now looked out of place.

i already had these in my footwells so i popped them out and am now using them in the corner lights.

Yeah please do get some pics posted, I'd like to see how yours look. You've seen my Spiderman effect...

I see autolumination sells a few LED flex strips now as well, one is the Bullet type with 96 LEDs in it!
