A common accessory question: how do you actually wire an LED hood light strip, and will it fit a standard US car hood?

Sizing

Each strip spans 60 inches (150cm), matching the typical width of US car hoods.

Installation

Adhere the strip to the top or bottom edge of your car's hood, then wire it: connect the black wire to a negative/ground point, and the red wire to a power source such as your car's ignition, headlights, or high beams, depending on when you want it to activate.

Color Options

Available in Red, Blue, and White.
