Butt splices for purchased wire size.
Heat shrink tubing to insulate/waterproof the butt connectors.
Split wire loom to cover your wiring.

Measure your LED strip after figuring out exactly where you want it at the forward underside portion of the hood. Cut LED strip to length.
Figure out how you want to run your wire, install prop switch
Solder or butt splice the red & black wires to your LED strip. Heat shrink your connectors.
Install the LED strip, rough run wires keeping in mind not to position them when you close the hood!
You will want the black wire to to be run to a common ground under the hood.
You will butt connect the red wire to one wire on the prop switch. Connect another red wire to the other prop switch and run it to a power source that is fused with a 2 or 3 amp fuse.
You need to heat shrink the butt connectors.
Install wire loom to make it look clean and factory.
This is very helpful, thank you.

In regards to the power source, I see the little assembly with fuses in your pictures. Is it this aux power kit you used?
