Backlit SVT logo

I just used reflective tape left the sticky backing on and just slid it under the svt logo looks good in the day time and at night don't take much light to reflect a nice glow.

After finishing my install ....
I really like glowhut brand but they aren't bright enough for my appeal. I got in touch with LightTape brand specifically and I'm going to order they're tape. The cost is double too though. They quoted me $82 for a very similar product and is UV resistant. You can check out they're website @ www.LightTape.com

My goal is to try for increased "SVT" brightness to match that flicker that the side LED running lights give off.

LOL I did the same...after about 10 minutes of going, "Hmmm...where am I going to put this sucker..."

Ripped mine out. Started getting a bad feeling about it overheating/shorting out/etc and causing major problems. I left the light strips in the vents for a red accent. But, disconnected the transformer and all the wires. Going to need that upfitter switch soon anyway.

Was just getting worried myself bc at times I hear the ballast whine and sometimes I don't. I thought it was a bad ground but after giving that a try....nope, debating whether they are worth the risk. Might be giving them a call or an email referring to this (hopefully) little issue!

I havent really had any issues with mine... I wired it up to the hood LEDs against popular demand. I never hear the ballast whine or anything.

One thing I do think is strange is that these little strips require 120v source when other LED strips, ie. Mercedes, only require a 12v source. just makes me wonder why on earth they need as much juice to run a house hold appliance just to glow a bit?

So I hooked everything up exactly like its supposed to accept no light. Any suggestions?

Hello, not going to backlight the logo but put some reflective tape in there.

QUESTION - is there any trick to getting the plastic piece off the side of the truck. I tried to pry it out but it wasn't as easy as I thought and I am afraid to break it.

Any guidance is appreciated.
