Anyone put LEDs all in your boat? If so what company are you getting them from? How are you installing them.

Wanted to put this link in here so I can find it again. Looks like a direct replacement.

picked these up at Advance auto, have all different lengths, and they have double sided tape already installed and they can be cut to length, I used the 36" strips on each side, they were about 35$ a piece, the individual led's are 10$ for a pack of four and they fit perfect in the drain holes for the cup holders

more shots, I just couldn't make myself pay 400$ for the acrylic rings to go around the cup holders so I improvised

they also had the exact same ones that came in the boat but were currently out of the red ones, they have a few different colors in house, blue, green, red, white, pink, and some color changing ones too.

Nice job Walter. I was looking at these http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/ ... xible.html

Did you splice into existing wiring for interior leds?

yup, for the cup holders I tied the wires to the little white light above them on the removable panel, the ones under the seat cushion I tied to the forward LED that was already under the seat, just pulled out the existing light and put the wire through the hole and pushed the light back in, the wires were like 18 gauge so they were thin enough to fit with ease, that and I didn't want to drill a hole in this thing for two tiny wires
