Underglow

I bought these clips hoping the light strip would fit in them. Using a clip gets the strip off of the body enough to use a wire tie.

Wire ties provide two benefits, strength, and the ability to easily remove the lights for any maintenance.

I drilled and tapped new holes, and used machine screws, and lock washers for a clean and complete job. Each light strip is held in place by several of these clips, and wire ties.

Installation of the lights is actually the easy part, routing the wires is something different. Sure, you can bundle up the power wires, and just clip them to a brake line, or route them over the rear axle, it's just not how I roll. I like to make things as difficult as possible.
