Has anybody tried something like the 3m clear vinyl to help protect the leds from fading.

you can make your own if you are a tinkerer.

What about this stuff...

Don't know anything about the product or seller but if its native 12VDC that would seem to be a big plus due to simpler circuitry and less chance for burning up something

It's not native 12volt. That black box attached to it is the inverter and the cause of the el tape burning up (or at least the wiring anyway).

The best method I've seen so far is to use a Drexel to cut a hole behind the plastic vent, get some weather proof led strips and backlight the hole with those. That's my plan. I got the stuff, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Got a howto? It's raining today so I was thinking about doing this. I'm willing to entertain other methods.

(truth be told... I'm not overly against cutting. If I majorly horse it up, then I have an even more valid excuse to get some Glassworx fenders! hahaha)
