Default Engine Bay LED Lighting Kit - Wireless RGB?

My TPW is next week, can’t believe it’s here after waiting 10 months! One of my most desired options (engine appearance package) was deleted from my order because the engine panel manufacturer shutdown operations. The good news is I was able to purchase the identical (carbon fiber) panel from an aftermarket vendor. Now I want to add LED lighting to the engine bay. I have seen the DIY video of the guy installing lights just like the ones from the factory. I have zero desire to go down that rabbit hole.

So has any installed Engine Bay LED Lighting Kit with a Wireless RGB? I found one from CorvetteMods but because of their horrible reputation I need to find another vendor.

Recommendations?

Google . . . scratch that. AMAZON is your friend. The so-called pucks (not lifting) are great, battery operated, and have remotes.

It is like 17 posts and I wound up getting inspiration from it. It is worth your time.

I did the PowerLabs cable ($75) and $8 orange Laminx on the OEM Engine Bay Lights (part of the engine appearance package). They turn on by pressing the rear defogger. So $90 and it’s seamless with no batteries or wiring.

I have found, your checkbook is the only limitation for engine compartment dress-up.
